The pros behind FordvFerrari break down the challenges of locating and recording the sounds of some of the world's most coveted and rare vehicles
that supervising sound editor Don Sylvester says kept him up at night.
While the team was able to locate a few original Ford GT40s, convincing their owners to hand over their treasured vehicles to a sound team proved nearly impossible. "They are probably worth $10 million to $15 million each," he explains. "No one who has a valuable car like that wants to give it to us to drive around a track with a bunch of microphones sticking all over it."
The team traveled to Ohio to record the GT40 for sound. "We had mics on the transmission housing and transaxles that gave us whines and different interior sounds. It was finding the right sounds for the right places, but we had a lot to work from," says sound designer David Giammarco, who also served as a rerecording mixer alongside Paul Massey.
