24 hrs of Le Mans

[LateFan]

ah.

The wiki tells me that in 1962 that was the UDT / Laystall Racing Team from the UK, driven by Innes Ireland (wow) and Masten Gregory. DNF though.

Crazy they could do that race with only two drivers.

Oh, wait.. here's another link...

GTO #3505 Ireland / Gregory, pale green


ANOTHER link says it's Sterling Moss, not Phil Hill (derp derp) and it's #3505, but seen with it's #15 here...

That color....eeeee....

So I have my guys all mixed up - Moss was injured at Goodwood in the spring of '62 and never raced again, and never raced this car.

Mystery solved. I'd like to know the story behind that color. I think all but two or three are red.

I forgot this little trivia, that they had to be licensed, since they were sports cars with lights and two seats and a trunk. This is a famous GTO, but light colored...? Could it be that pale green Phil Hill GTO?

i think that car was #15. a google search of 250 gto and 20 brings up a red car.

1966, GT40s 1-2-3



I'll quit with the famous #6, the car that won in 1968 and 1969. The same car. ...I think it was #9 in 68.

Fox sport fucked up so bad on the coverage i didnt get to see the last two hours as i was asleep and they decided to drop the coverage midway through its scheduled time for the fucking pga tour...

As excited as I am for Ford, I'm absolutely heartbroken for Toyota. They were the class of the field. It was also surprising to read about how uncompetitive the Audi was.

[LateFan]

Oh, that was a good time, even with the limited coverage I could access!

I love Le Mans.

I'm really excited to see how Ford does, moreso than the prototype stuff.

I love the prototypes but Im with you. I enjoy seeing "real" cars racing each other

If anyone is a member over at the Peterson Museum, they have a 24hr viewing party complete with plenty of grub and drink (for $15).

I'm cant wait to see 6 American cars running down the Mulsanne Straight, I don't know what I'd love to see more. An all American fight at the end between Corvette and Ford, or Ford and Ferrari duking it out at the end.
