SetFord at Le Mans in 1967
- 26 Artifacts
Ford Motor Company returned to Le Mans for a rematch with Ferrari in 1967. While Ford bested the Italians with the GT40 Mark II in 1966, this time it fielded an all-new car. Dan Gurney and A.J. Foyt piloted a Ford Mark IV around the Circuit de la Sarthe for 24 brutal hours. The two drivers, like the crew members and Ford executives there with them, hoped all the while that neither they nor their machine would break under the strain.
