I just finished reading this. It's the book about Ford vs. Ferrari at Le Mans.
It was a fun read. It was a fast read, and covered a lot of ground outside of the Ford/Ferrari dynamic (like what was going on in F1 around that time, and in NASCAR).
If you haven't read it, you definitely should. It's available on Kindle, if that's how you buy books.
Sounds like a good recommendation!
If people are looking for something else for their e-reader, Al Bloemker's 500 Miles To Go is a fun, easy-reading history of the first 50 years or so of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It's available for free online in a number of formats.

Umbrella Mike is a pretty good read too.
Any more word on Michael Mann's plan to direct the film adaption of "Go Like Hell?"

I agree, Go Like Hell is a fun read. I read it on Kindle then bought my Dad a hard copy for his birthday.
The Publisher at Motorbooks (who has read a lot of automotive and racing books) said Go Like Hell was one of the best racing books he's ever read.
