Im a big enduracne racer fan, and wihtout a doubt the geatest racing era was the 60-70's. In this footage we have a GT40 take us around Le mans. This is not made in 1967 by the way,its made in 1969 wiht the two reasons why. they talk about the porsche 917, which didnt run there until 1969, and was so dangerous cause of areo problems and too much power in a light car ( the frame weighted an incredible 150 lbs!!!), and an unexperianced privateer that bought one was killed on the first lap, but thats in other footage. The other being the Ford chicanes were installed, which wasent until after 1967. Henry Ford payed the track handsomly to have them installed. Why? so they could keep their speed and lap record for all time after the 1967 Le Mans, which at that race, had anounce Ford had Retired from endurance racing....but was beaten in 1971 by a Porsche 917, which that still stands today!!! anywho, check out the guardrails on the long straight away....oh wait those are trees!!! yup racings come a long way, but man what I would do to of seen them dice it up back in the day. so enjoy everyone, ill post more later.
