If you weren’t planning on seeing “Ford v. Ferrari,“ which came out on Nov. 15, I’d recommend changing your mind. Based on the real-life story of the Ford–Ferrari feud of the 1960s, as told in the nonfiction book ”Go Like Hell,” it manages to capture the spectacle and thrill of a 24-hour endurance race as well as the competitive spirit and insatiable drive necessary to even think that doing something that patently bonkers might be a good idea.
But you don’t need to be a die-hard gearhead to appreciate what goes into, and comes out of, racing.
