History
For the 1966 Le Mans 24 hour race, no less than 13 GT40s were entered, eight of which were 7 litre MkII versions. The black and silver car from the Alan Mann Racing team was driven by Formula One 1 ace Graham Hill and Brian Muir. At the end of the race, only three GT40s remained, occupying the first three places. After an attempt by the Ford hierarchy to stage a photo finish with all three cars crossing the finish line side-by-side, the winner was declared to be car number 2, the MkII driven by Chris Amon and Bruce McLaren, thus robbing Ken Miles of the achievement of winning the three major endurance races, Le Mans, Daytona and Sebring, in the same year. 55 cars started the race and 15 finished. Fastest lap was set by Dan Gurney with an average speed of 142.979 mph.

Graham Hill was one of many famous drivers to race the GT40 cars around Le Man in 1966. Other legends driving the cars included Bruce McLaren, Chris Amon, Ken Miles, Denis Hulme, Dan Gurney, Guy Ligier, Jacky Ickx, Mario Andretti, Frank Gardner, Innes Ireland, Mark Donohue and Jochen Rindt.
