This months Playboy has an excerpt from a new book GO LIKE HELL, about the GT40s rise at Le Mans.

Its based on over 30 interviews and gives a more grittier/colorful take on the Henry Ford II/Enzo battle, than the usual dry history in other prior books...from stripper tents at Le Mans infield, to Shelby barbs at the Old Man, to temps inside car reaching 140 F....to this blood boiling quote from the Ferrari pits:

"After all", joked Ferrari's stateside rep Luigi Chinetti, "The best American sports cars is the Jeep, no?"

Also, Film rights to Go Like Hell were recently optioned by 20th Century Fox in a major deal.

I might need combat pay for this tip...

I was reading it on a crowded commuter train in NY, on a SUNDAY no less

I was surrounded on 3 sides by women, and each page had some naked cartoon or ad so i had to fold the magazine in half, then in quarter lengths, and finally almost by word-to-word in a tube roll.

Its really hilarious....the author has asides like the Ferrari Team ogling Jim Mkay's/ABC Sports script girl

Indy, thanks for the tip.

By golly I looked again and they DO have articles. 45 years of reading it and not once did I notice that there were articles. :rofl
 
I'm a little confused. Is it this month's mag or released June 11?
 
Never mind. I read more carefully. This month's Playboy, book released on June 11.
