A fun story that gets more granular than Ford V Ferrari. What a bunch of true characters. Some of my favourite lines from the movie are actual stuff they said. It’s nice to get more history around the characters and the companies, plus more gearhead stats on the cars themselves.

It’s fast paced and a page turner. People say if you aren’t into cars than people wouldn’t enjoy it but I think the overarching story is compelling and indicative of capitalism and that America time period. Young men literally killing themselves to go faster. It reads like some sort of twisted ritual to Mammon, as stories around improving technology in modern capitalism too often do.
