We Join Ford v Ferrari Movie Crew, Stunt Drivers At Daytona Rolex 24

By Dave Pankew January 29, 2020If you haven’t seen the Ford v Ferrari movie yet, we’re surprised you are still here and not enjoying it on now-available digital download. The Academy Award-nominated movie not only has the star power to make it a smash hit, but it might become the highest-grossing racing movie of all time.

We sat down during the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona with key players from the film, including the Ford v Ferrari stunt coordinator, stunt driver, and several notable racers like Hurley Haywood, Scott Pruett, and the legendary Roger Bailey. We couldn’t think of a better event to discuss the Ford v Ferrari film’s digital release and upcoming BluRay and DVD on-sale date for those looking to hold on to the memories of one unforgettable Matt Damon and Christian Bale motorsport masterpiece.

As the Rolex 24 race raged on outside our conference room, we took a few hours out of the 24 of this premier American endurance race to talk to these living legends. And of course, as racing fanatics, the TURNology team asked the right questions to really get a feel for the story behind the Hollywood glam about how the stunts, precision driving, and historical facts make this racing flick one of the benchmarks for our generation.

Motor racing in the 1960s bred some of the most important and most valuable race cars ever produced, just like those in the film. During our rapid-fire interviews, we learned that the value of all the classic race cars in the scene filmed inside Scuderia Ferrari was more than the budget of the film itself. Bust out that fact at the next track day!
