Some inaccuracies

I found several things in the film that didn't correspond to reality.
1. It turns out that Ken Miles raced on the Ferrari cars too.
2. In the first race of Ford GT at 24 hours LeMan in 1965, Ken Miles also participated. And the transmission broke down right on his car.
3. At the finish line, Ken Miles knew that if he crossed the line at the same time as another Ford car, he would lose first place. And by the way, there were only 2 Ford cars at the finish, not 3

Cool, I wonder if James Mangold knew about it))

There were 3 Ford prototypes that finished 1, 2 and 3. Porsche was 4th.

Sheesh.
