Nothing on the motor, what was used to make the car, etc. And the only thing really regarding the "rivalry" with them was the initial offer meeting and some glares during the race. It was more about character development and the internal struggle within the Ford organization. It was definitely more suits vs. Shelby & Miles than it was Ford vs. Ferrari. He still enjoyed it, though. Especially the parts with Miles and his son. He was just a little disappointed that there wasn't more racing in it.

I get where he's coming from, but shifting the focus to the cars would have made the target audience for it WAY more narrow. As I said, I'm not a big car guy, and I probably wouldn't have gone if that had been what it was about.
