This year marks the 50th anniversary
今年是汽车运动史上一次著名
of the greatest battle in motorsport history.
战争的50周年纪念日
The story begins in the 1960s,
故事始于上世纪60年代
when Ford realised that they could sell a lot more cars
当福特意识到如果他们能在各项比赛上表现优异的话
if they were a lot more successful on the racetrack.
他们可以卖♥♥出更多的汽车给消费者
So they formulated a brilliant plan, but unfortunately...
于是他们想出了一个非常明智的方案但是很不幸...
...it went disastrously wrong, didn't it, Bob?
结果却是灾难性的失误啊... 对吧鲍勃
Ford knew that if you wanted to rule in motorsport,
福特深知如果你想统治汽车运动领域
there was only one race that mattered.
那么只有一场关键的比赛需要搞定
The toughest and most dangerous of them all -
最严酷最危险的一场比赛
the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
勒芒24小时耐力赛
Levegh's Mercedes collides and blows up.
列文的奔驰赛车发生了碰撞并且爆♥炸♥了
The problem was, for all its might,
但问题是福特绞尽脑汁
Ford didn't have a clue how to win at Le Mans.
也搞不懂如何在勒芒耐力赛上取胜
However, over in Italy, someone did.
然而在大洋彼岸的意大利有人却很清楚
In the early 1960s,
在上世纪60年代初
Enzo Ferrari's cars ruled sports-car racing,
恩佐法拉利的跑车统治了汽车运动
Le Mans especially.
尤其是勒芒耐力赛
At the start of the decade,
在60年代初
he had won the famous and gruelling 24-hour race
他赢得了这场著名且考验耐力的24小时比赛
three times on the trot.
并且一口气赢了3年
However, the company was in deep financial difficulty,
然而当时的法拉利公♥司♥深陷财务危机
so when Ford offered to buy the entire business,
于是当福特提出来收♥购♥整个公♥司♥的时候
Enzo agreed.
恩佐答应了
At first, all went well.
起初一切顺利
Enzo Ferrari and the head of Ford, Henry Ford II,
恩佐法拉利和亨利福特二世福特的总裁
quickly settled on a price of $16 million.
很快就把价格定了一千六百万美元
And on May 21st 1963,
在1963年5月21日
Ford executives arrived in Maranello to sign the deal.
福特的管理层到马拉内罗签署协议
Ford turned up with an army of suits.
福特身边浩浩荡荡跟了一帮人
Enzo Ferrari sat opposite them
产生鲜明对比的是恩佐法拉利的身边
with just the local town lawyer.
只有一位小城当地的律师
They read the contract and all seemed well,
他们检查合同一切看起来都很顺利
but then, suddenly, Ferrari stopped
但是法拉利突然停了下来
and he took out his famous fountain pen full of purple ink,
掏出了他那只著名的紫色墨水钢笔
and as you can see from this accurate copy I have here,
就如我手里拿到的这一份当时的拷贝上的一样
he drew a big exclamation mark and he wrote,
他画了一个大大的感叹号♥ 后面写着
"No, that's no good!"
"不这样不行
Now, what had angered him? Well, it was this clause here.
是什么让他生气的呢各位看这一项条款
You see, Enzo Ferrari wanted to retain control
恩佐法拉利想要继续掌管
of the motorsport side of his business,
公♥司♥的赛车事业
but this bit effectively handed control to Ford.
但是这一块福特要全权接手
There followed a tirade of abuse in Italian,
在一串意大利语的激昂训斥之后
after which, Enzo said to his lawyer, "Let's go and eat."
恩佐对他的律师说"出去吃东西吧"
Then they got up and they simply walked out on the stunned Ford executives.
然后起身出去留下福特管理一脸懵逼
That was that.
就这样黄了
All of this for nothing.
白费了那么多精力
Back in Detroit, Henry Ford II,
回到底特律亨利福特二世
apoplectic with rage,
气得不行
gathered his lieutenants and issued the order:
召集了人马下达了命令
"Build me a car that will crush Ferrari at Le Mans."
"给我造一辆完爆法拉利的勒芒赛车"
To beat Ferrari on European soil,
为了避免到欧洲赛场上水土不服
Ford needed European expertise,
福特需要一帮欧洲本土专家
so he hired a small British motorsport company
他聘请了藏身在这栋楼里
that set up shop here, in this very building,
的一个英国小型赛车公♥司♥
on an industrial estate in Slough, just outside London.
在斯劳这的一个工业区就在伦敦郊区
And the challenges they faced were enormous.
他们面临了无数挑战
They had to build a car that would race at over 200mph,
他们的赛车时速得超过321公里/小时
which was something that had never been done before,
这是史无前例的
and it had to be reliable for the 24 hours of the Le Mans race -
然后要在这场长达24小时的比赛里相当可靠
a race in which you changed gear 9,000 times
一场比赛下来要换挡9000次
and drove flat out for 3,000 miles.
还要全力以赴往前冲4828千米
And, as if that wasn't bad enough, they only had ten months to do it.
火上浇油的是他们只剩下十个月来准备
Out of that insane timetable emerged this.
一段疯狂的加班加点之后他们造出了这个
The Ford GT.
福特GT
Thanks to its sleek shape and the body that stood just 40-inches tall,
得益于圆润的线条和仅有一米高的车身
it promised to cut through the air like a missile.
这车像是枚导弹般划破空气
Add a 4.2L V8,
加上这一台4.2升的V8发动机
and the magic target of 200mph seemed in the bag.
拿下321公里/小时这一不可能的目标就像是囊中取物
The trouble is, a racing car is just a collection of hopes and dreams
问题是在一辆赛车真正下赛道之前
until it gets on the track.
所有的一切都是理论
And that's something that Ford learned in a very brutal way
福特第一次在勒芒测试GT40时付出了惨痛的代价
when they took the GT40 to test at Le Mans for the first time.
才明白这个道理
And so to the first Le Mans practice session.
GT40开始在勒芒的第一次跑圈了
On its first outing, the renamed GT40 was fast,
刚开始 GT40很快
but it was also terrifyingly unstable,
但是却非常的不稳定
spinning its wheels on the straights.
在大直道上后轮一直在打滑
I'm not talking about when you set off,
不是在刚起步打滑
I mean it was happening at 170mph!
而是在时速273公里/小时的情况下还在打滑
Now, the problem was either aerodynamics or suspension,
究竟是空力还是悬挂出了问题
but they never found out,
已经无从得知
because, later that day, the car crashed at 160mph.
因为没多久车子就以257公里/小时的速度撞毁了
Well, that was OK. They had a spare one, of course.
问题不大他们当然还有一辆备用的
The next day, that crashed as well.
但第二天它也被撞毁了
Le Mans was just two months away.
离勒芒只剩下两个月了
Against all odds, Ford got their act together in time for the 196♥4♥ race.
尽管困难重重福特方面还是井然有序地赶着参加比赛
The Le Mans 24 Hour Race at last,
在最后的关头
and three gleaming Ford GTs are present.
三辆闪亮的GT出场了
But during the race itself,
但是在比赛过程中
all the cars broke down or caught fire,
所有的车抛锚或者失火了
leaving bitter rivals Ferrari
这让劲敌法拉利
to take another one-two-three victory.
又一次包揽前三
In Detroit, Henry Ford decreed that they would be back next year
回到底特律亨利福特命令第二年要重返赛场
to take on Ferrari again.
与法拉利一决高低
And to head up the campaign,
为了取得优势
he turned to an American motorsport hero.
他把目光放在了一位美国赛车英雄上
