Cobra Ferrari wars : BBC4 8PM Sunday
Repeated from a couple of years ago:
The date is 1959. The place is Le Mans racing circuit, France. A little known Texan racing driver, Carrol Shelby,
wins the most prestigious event in motor racing at his first attempt and is universally acclaimed as one of the best drivers in the world.
But Shelby had a secret that was to prevent him ever driving again.
This is the comeback story of a man driven by the desire to beat the world on the race track, and specifically to beat the might of motor racing,
Ferrari.
From his base in California with only a team of hot rodders for support, in three years Shelby put together a car that would take on the world and
win.
The Shelby Cobra, as it was known, is still an automotive icon today.
Featuring a great 60s soundtrack and using true-to-the-period split screen effects, this film is for car fans and casual viewers alike.

Watch it on iPlayer through a proxy server so it looks like you're in the UK.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Great show. I'm guessing this was by the same people that did the other recent motorsport shows on BBC4 and I've thought the same about
all of them.
