The Ford GT40 is iconic in the history of motorsport, particularly for its success at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Here's a summary of the 1966 Ford GT40s, specifically focusing on cars #95, #96, and #97:
1966 Ford GT40 Mk II Car #95: Drivers: Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon Race: 24 Hours of Le Mans 1966 Result: 1st Place Details: This car, along with its teammates, achieved what is famously known as Ford's first overall victory at Le Mans, breaking Ferrari's consecutive win streak. McLaren and Amon drove the car to victory, with McLaren known for his strategic driving and ability to manage tire wear over the long race.
Car #96: Drivers: Ken Miles and Denny Hulme Race: 24 Hours of Le Mans 1966 Result: 2nd Place Controversy: This car actually crossed the finish line first, but due to a controversial decision by Ford and the race officials regarding the start procedure, it was placed second. Ken Miles had started the race from the pits to ensure a rolling start, which led to the controversy regarding the official start.
Car #97: Drivers: Ronnie Bucknum and Dick Hutcherson Race: 24 Hours of Le Mans 1966 Result: 3rd Place Details: This car completed the historic 1-2-3 sweep for Ford at Le Mans. The reliability and speed of the GT40 Mk II were showcased brilliantly in this race, with all three cars finishing on the podium.
