Le Mans '66 has been released throughout Europe in November. The film tells the story of the legendary duel between Ford and Ferrari that took place during the iconic French resistance challenge of that year. One of the key elements of the race was the key role played by Goodyear tires that led Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon to win.

When Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon achieved victory in the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1966, Ford was not the only American company that left its mark on the world. The famous black Mark II GT40 competed with Goodyear tires, after having started the race with rubber from the company's great rival in the so-called ‘tire war’, Firestone.
