Carroll Shelby Story

Hear from racing legend, Carroll Shelby, in his own words in his exciting memoir. Carroll Shelby wasn't born to run. He was born to race-some of the fastest cars ever to tear up a speedway. The exciting new feature film Ford v Ferrari--starring Matt Damon as Shelby and Christian Bale as fellow racer Ken Miles--immortalizes the small-town Texas boy who won the notorious Le Mans 24-hour endurance challenge, and changed the face of auto racing with the Shelby Cobra. But there's much more to his high-velocity, history-making story. A wizard behind the wheel, he was also a visionary designer of speed machines that ruled the racetrack and the road. While his GT40s racked up victories in the world s most prestigious professional racing showdowns, his masterpiece, the Ford Cobra, gave Europe s formidable Ferrari an American--style run for its money. If you ve got a need for speed, strap in next to the man who put his foot down on the pedal, kept his eyes on the prize, and never looked back.
