Agreed a excellent documentary by Adam & Adam. Unfortunately even they got the story wrong about the 66 LeMans finish. I've heard the same story (True?) from 3-Shelby Employee's that we're at the race, it was simply a "Timing & Scoring" error? That the French (ACO) wanted a pair of "International" drivers rather then a "American & Aussie" drivers win. Back then Bruce (McLaren) and Chris (Amon) were well known F-1 drivers. Dennis (Hulme) was less known back then, thou a little better known after a 67 F-1 Championship
. Remember the 66 Monte Carlo Rallye, when the French disqualified the Mini's & Lotus Cortina's for running the wrong headlights dripping switch
so the Citroen DS-19 could win. And no this isn't a "April Fools" Joke, or is it
Happy April 1st. everybody, Cheers TommyRot.
