there’s a scene at the start of lemans where a bunch of european radio hosts are talking in kilometers and in the background you can here an american shout “WILL SOMEONE TELL ME MILES PER HOUR?!!!”
To those saying about 10 gears, it has a 6 speed gearbox and you can see him go from 5th to 6th at the end, the movie gets the gears right, it just doesn't show you him downshifting to overtake, as you should do in performance vehicles.
Only problem is that the GT40 had a 4 speed gearbox, so you could say it was from 3rd to 4th but that doesn't make much sense in the oval at that point.
@@leonreinert1981 He was still in third as he powered out of the last curve and took the engine all the way up to about 7800 rpm, 800 over the redline before he put it into 4th. That's what the "7000+ Go Like Hell" meant on the chalkboard. Shelby had faith in both his engine and his driver. The gear ratio on that 4-speed is a lot closer than in a mini-van.
@@CTRaptor downshifting brings the revs up higher, which in theory puts you into or ahead of the torque curve and into a higher horsepower range. This gives you the most power to the wheels possible and can increase acceleration, therefore making you overtake faster. Only after you overtake do you shift up, lowering revs, giving you more overhead, you don't need all the acceleration possible once you are already ahead of the taken vehicle.
@@leonreinert1981 the Mk1 and Mk3 had a 5 speed ZF transaxle while the Mk2 and Mk4 had a 4 speed Kar Kraft transaxle; since the 98 car that Ken Miles is driving in the video is a Mk2, you would be correct.
I got my drivers licence in 1975, and since then I have gotten only two speeding tickets. Both times..."Free Bird" was blasting on the stereo. First time 8-Track then CD.
True story, years ago working in Indianapolis and on the highway we passed a minivan with a Lynard Skynyrd vanity plate. About 5 minutes later we are listening to the classic rock station, and Freebird starts. At the point the drum solo starts that same van comes screaming past us. That dude had to have been listening to that same station living his best life.
@@codagaming9186 i was wrong, Ken Miles was eight laps ahead of Dan Gurney/Jerry Grant. Hansgen didnt even finish second! The worst part about this movie is how it actually played out in real life was such a better story.
@@ashishhembrom3905 you are missing the point here...people see the movie then quote the movie as historical fact...then the actual reality becomes distorted.
this fit perfectly and I think should have been in the actual movie. The most intense part of the solo when it was zooming in on Christian Bale while he was fixated on the two cars infront of him, fucking preem. 👌👌
If the movie had stuck to just the racing, maybe. As it is there is enough jumping between the pits, and spectators that it wouldn't work. There is actually an interesing dynamic with the tension in the music. It starts building tension in the pits on Shelby as he's making the decision to go for it. Then amping it up when Miles sees the sign and starts racing. But backing off when it cuts back to Shelby, as the pressure is off of him. The decision is done, it's all on Miles now. But even then the Free Bird solo is very much a balls to the wall going for it music. Which is not what Miles is doing. He is pushing it, but is in control, thinking it through, and waiting for his moment. Free Bird is much faster pace, which is great for the Car Vs. Track dynamic. But the race here is more Car vs Car and Driver vs Drive to the relative speed is much slower. And the music in the movie captures that much better. The fact that they are almost 200 mph it is still a slow slog to catch up to the leader. And then the anticipation as he waits for the perfect moment to shift and take the leader (which is also a great call back to the opening race to the movie.)
The shot where its just 2 cars reflecting in his glasses, I haven't felt that feeling in a long time, but you never forget the times you enter the zone like that. Bombs can be going on around your head, but nothing matters, just track down and kill that prey in front of you. Totally primal. Entirely human.
you ever heard of shifting up and down shifting on road corses and 6 gears being used? you must not actually watch racing or know anything. typical casual
One of my favorite parts in this movie, when they see another team get out of the pits so fast and ask how did they do that? "THEY HIRED A NASCAR CREW."
Holman Moody was a NASCAR team, so they already had the crew. BTW - Holman Moody built the chassis and motors and Kar-Kraft built the bodies for all of the GT 40s. The cars carried a Holmann Moody manufacturer's plate.
This sort of reminds me of the movie "Cars" and the race for the "Piston Cup". The racing scenes here seem similar. Both are good movies in their own way.
Freebird stats: Currently equipped vehicle gains 300horsepower, driver instinct increases by 50%, your currently equipped vehicle gains heat resistance and a downforce bonus of 20-100% depending on which guitar riff is currently playing. Needs nerf honestly kinda op
This song is in my motorbike playlist for when im riding, how iv not been caught speeding is a proper mystery, it kicks in an a moment later you see your speedo 😳
At the next race, Sebring 12 hours, Dan Gurney was the primary car and supposed to win in the Blue #2, Ken only backed into the win when Gurneys motor blew on the last lap.
A friend of mine was the guitarist in an excellent rock'n roll band, and Freebird was the highlight of their show. I always felt like I was shifting up through the gears as I thrashed my air guitar to this classic.
"what did they just do to his car?" "Freebird" Edit: I have seen this scene and movie so many times, but these racing scenes always get me on the edge of my seat
A race engine will run or blow, last laps time to test it out. 3/4 ton Chevy 4x4 with slick tires down the hill checking the cows. Dad was going to blow up the 350, but after a few tries it didn't blow or was it going to the top of the hill. Few hours later and the grass had dried up, check the oil and she fried up and back to the barn.
yeah over revving is actually a smart move if you know that when you shift up you will end up in the peak of your engine's power curve and that will make your car accelerate like a bat of hell i use this technic quite often in oval racing both tarmac and dirt
lynyrd skynyrd time traveled back 7 years to 1966 to play this one song to this one ken miles, ...then they returned to 1973 and destroyed the time machine and all evidence it ever existed. for all those who say it was an extremely poor use of such a significant opportunity...lynryd skyryd says...build your own time machine
For me the best part of that movie was watching it with my wife. She paid close attention and if she didn't get something she'd ask me (I'm a huge Ford, Shelby, GT40 fan). When they showed the drivers running across the track to get in the cars and start (traditional LeMans start) she looked at me like "There is no way in hell that's right!". I laughed and said yep.. Thats the way they did it back then.
It's also the reason Porsche's have the ignition on the left side of the steering wheel (in left hand drive cars). So yo could start it and put it in gear simultaneously and drive off more quickly.
What's cool about this is that you can race a lot of these cars in VR in GT7 in PSVR2. Tried out a Ford GT for the first time a couple of days ago. Not as cool as real life, but as close as I'll ever get to driving one. lol
@@rt2255 Well old timer, it's kind of funny you'd mention a Yugo since a friend of mine had one of those in high school and I got to drive it on a few occasions. I can assure you that even a crappy video game is MUCH closer to driving a Ford GT than that thing was. They might have been considered nice when you were young and waiting for Sputnik to launch, but that thing was a joke even among broke high school kids in the 70's.
Little known fact about this section of Freebird… To this day, there’s an unexplainable phenomenon of how discreet wavelengths affects the electromagnets within speaker drivers. Ultimately, the acoustic signature for this section of Freebird causes speakers to automatically increase in volume. #Physics
