Ford GT40 Mark II Driven by Ken Miles and Denny Hulme in the 24 Heures du Mans, June 1966

Summary

Ken Miles and Denny Hulme finished second at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans in the #1 Ford GT40 Mark II. Ford swept the podium that year with a 1-2-3 finish. Second place was bittersweet for Miles, who'd won endurance races at Daytona and Sebring earlier in the year. A win at Le Mans would've meant a "triple crown."
