1966 Le Mans 24•Hour Race -----2nd K. Miles / D.Hulme(SA)

Ford launched its own effort to create a GT prototype in 1963. The most powerful of all the race cars participating in car races at the time wa the Ferrari, and though Ford made efforts to acquire Ferrari in order to be able to complete in the Le Mans, these efforts ended in failure. Thereafter, nothing the similarities to the Ferrari in the GT image and Eric Broadlay's Roala GT, Ford acquired the Roala GT and concluded a one-year contract with Broadlay to engage in the development of a Ford GT40 design. The GT40 revealed at the 1964 New York Auto Model Show had a semi-monocoque configuration, and it's height was a mere 40 inches. The Gt40 began to participate in racing 1964. This was the MK II, mounting a 7 lit. V8 engine of 485HP. This vehicle garnered a osne-two-three finish in the Daytona 24-hour race, and in the same year beat the Ferrari hands down for another one-two-three finish for its first Le Mans Win. - info. from Fujimi instruction manual

Ken Miles: If you're going to push a piece of machinery to the limit, and expect it to hold together, 

you have to have some sense of where that limit is.

Carroll Shelby: There’s a point, seven thousand RPM, where everything fades. 

The machine becomes weightless, just disappears. 

And all that’s left is a body moving through space and time. Seven thousand RPM. That’s where you meet it. 

It asks you a question. The only question that matters, “Who are you?”

Revered by racing fans worldwide, Ken Miles was included into the Motorsports Hall of Fame.

Carroll Shelby became one of the most successful and celebrated sports car designers in history.

The Ford GT40, developed by Shelby and Miles, won Le Mans in 1966, 1967, 1968 and 1969.

It remains the only American built car ever to win the 24 hours of Le Mans.
