GT40 at SVRA at the Glen this past weekend
I went to Watkins Glen this past weekend for SAAC-37 and the SVRA vintage races. This gold GT40 was at the Olthoff Racing tent. It ran Le Mans in ’66 and ’67. It DNF’d in ’66 and came in 2nd in ’67. It spent the next 40 years in a warehouse in Japan and then sold to another gentlemen in Japan for $6.1 mil. It was brought over here to be restored, then to the Glen for Olthoff Racing to run it on the track to get the bugs out. Had some problems and didn’t run much on the track. It’ll be running a vintage race at Le Mans in two weeks and then probably back to Japan to the owner's collection. Here are some pictures:
