Story Plot

The death of Ken Miles during testing of the J-Car prototype, Carroll Shelby struggles with his own emotions and the Ford Motor Company pressuring him to continue the racing program to prove to the world that their victory at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans wasn't a fluke. Meanwhile, driver Dan Gurney is struggling to fill Miles' role. Things get even more overwhelming when he's informed his partner for the 1967 Le Mans will be rookie A.J. Foyt, who is eager to prove himself. Initially failing to maintain their speed at the 1967 24 Hours of Daytona, Shelby finally caves in and decides to resume development on the J-Car and turn it into the formidable MK IV GT40. Gurney and Foyt also work together to help the other with their problems. Gurney helps Foyt learn his and the car's limits and Foyt helps move Gurney's mindset to do Miles' legacy proud.
