How does this not have more views?!? I live about 100 miles from Indy and I think I’m gonna take a trip down to the museum just to see this thing in person if it’s still there now
They say don’t meet your hero’s you will be disappointed. Well, that doesn’t hold here! Just awesome! Thank you! Felt like I was right there. Cheers 🍻 just watched the John Ficarra Vinwiki story so cool here it is!
"You know that's a good car. I stuffed the clutch in it and revved it to 78 hundred rpm and it didn't even bend the valves!"-Masten Gregory to Caroll Shelby
Would have been cool to see him open it up a little bit. Funny how Grosjean finds it remarkable how flimsy this badass endurance racer is, compared to what he's used to. I think the guys who drove cars like this flat-out, especially in the deadly '60s and '70s when brakes and tires and all hadn't caught up with horsepower and safety was for wimps, had a much different personal relationship with risk and overcoming fear, because they had all seen plenty of friends and competitors killed as a normal part of the sport. Literally witnessed with their own eyes - friends burned to death, crushed, impaled, beheaded, you name it. Had to believe deep down that it probably wouldn't happen to them, but then when somebody really gifted like Jimmy Clark would get killed, they all knew it could happen to them at any time. Same with Lauda (almost) and Senna and lots of other guys. Phil Hill was nearly incapacitated by fear. James Hunt threw up before every race. All of these guys were World Champions. Mike Hawthorne died in his Jaguar speeding on a public road just days after becoming World Champion, so it was the same sense of empowerment that got him in a different way. Read the autobiographies of any of the F1 drivers prior to around Y2K; Jackie Stewart goes into it pretty well in his book.
65 Ferrari? You gotta have balls to drive a car built by Enzo ‘the Assassin’ Ferrari. Fast and agile death traps. They look cool too, like the cigarette version of auto racing.
You've got your car builders ass backward. Enzo didn't build unsafe cars, he pitted his drivers against each other forcing them to take chances they otherwise would never take to stay with the team. It was Colin Chapman of Lotus that built the car so light his theory was the car should only last long enough to finish. Many didn't make it before something broke.
Terrible, annoying, distracting background noise!!!!! The car shakes like it has badly unbalanced wheels. Check out the 1964 in the Petrolicious video for comparison.
Do you think Grosjean could drive this for 24HRs? and compete ? This is when the drivers where real athletes . Whats the Value $15-20 Million dollars on this Ferrari?
Absolutely he could compete, cornering forces these days are now double of what they were back then. A race car driver is a race car driver, they will race their mother to the grocery store, the mindset is timeless.
@@F-Man The much hotter conditions produced by the closed cockpit of a sports car likely contributed. A big challenge of the new aeroscreen was temperatures in the cockpit, and even then they don't get as hot as NASCARs; it's all about what a driver is acclimated to, give any of these guys a few years to get used to it and they'd be easily up to speed
Actually it took Ford 3 tries. My late father in law, Masten, was on the Ford team, in 1964 and blew the gear box in his GT40. He nailed it in 65 and made Ferrari history.
@@bobgregor5738 "Made Ferrari history", with Ford's fraction of racing success since then compared to Ferrari's, about to shrink even smaller relatively with them finally returning to Endurance as a works team.
I find it amazing though, that Ford, the biggest company in the World needed three attempts to beat a small team From Italy. In my opinion, Ferrari made history!
Somone please teach Roman how to rev match or double clutch...
These 250 LM's are SO cool, and almost Forgotten...

Because of this shit "music" (noise). i stoped watching after 1 minute
The scarring on his left hand from the fire.
Yes, we know
You know it's serious when a Frenchman says, "Lunch can wait"!
Sometimes in life you do just have to say "bloody hell" and go for it.
the most valuable 250LM in existence, Romain drove it respectfully.
Awesome, what a treat to see this. Interesting to see a multi-million dollar car with Dymo label tape marking the controls on the dashboard!
Always glad to see Roman
At least spell his name correctly
Driving that car is a dream!
They say don’t meet your hero’s you will be disappointed. Well, that doesn’t hold here! Just awesome! Thank you! Felt like I was right there. Cheers 🍻 just watched the John Ficarra Vinwiki story so cool here it is!
Poor car,😢, it would have loved to race a little again. It has a soul, you know....
You can see the burn scars on his left hand. Grosjean is truly a legend.
He drove unlegendarily in today's race at Detroit.
"You know that's a good car. I stuffed the clutch in it and revved it to 78 hundred rpm and it didn't even bend the valves!"-Masten Gregory to Caroll Shelby
Wowwww!! 😊
crazy to think this car is now heading to auction
And that rattlebox was cutting edge technology for the time.....I would love to drive it!

Nice Frenchman goes on leisurely drive.
A 250 LM actually races. - check out Goodwood revival
Watch Chris Harris drive one of these at Goodwood.
Awesome. 👍🏻
Could the makers of these films get rid of the drum machine music? Interferes with the glorious sound of the actual car.
Meines Wissen nach hat Jochen Rindt und M Gregory die 24 Stunden von Le Mans mit diesem Fahrzeug NO. 21 gewonnen !?
Meines Wissen hat mit diesem Fahrzeug 1965 Jochen Rindt und M Gregory die 24 Stunden von Le Mans gewonnen !?
Did not even drive it!
Thoroughbreds need to run!!
What a car!
As they said, cars like this one, are MEANT to be Driven, NOT left to Sit...
Sure seems thrown together inside, makes me think ford had them playing catch up in the mid engine field...
Honda "make sure you drive the Ferrari like a old farm tractor"
Mio nonno a 90 anni guida più veloce comunque!
i think this is also the first time Goodyear tires won an international race.
And the Ferrari Factory wanted NART to throw the race because of it. Ferrari was contracted to Dunlop.
Schade das so ein Fahrer nicht weiss, wie mann ein solches Getriebe mit richtigen Zwischengas und 2x Kuppeln runterschaltet. Das müsste er wissen.
Why the irritating music?
Storytime with Grosjean
Crashing gears, this one needs double clutching.

Welp it no longer is the last Ferrari to win Le Mans.
top speed?
Some 250lm where capable of about 320km/h with special aero adds
About equivilant to a Cobra Daytona. But not in this form.
His left hand still looks terrible. He got a second life after his terrible accident
they list the drivers as only Rindt/Gregory,but there was a 3rd driver,not sure who he was,but there was a 3rd for sure!
Ed Hugus USA Driver ' NART
My grandma could have driven that car faster than what he did!

Then explain why guys like Mansell and Piquet fainted several times after driving for 2 hours, much less 24.

@@Evarakeus Funny - always thought that Formula 1 cars had open cockpits.
@@F-Man well guess what, Romain doesn’t race in formula 1 anymore
But then the .GT40 with that nasty old side oiler came in 66 and just anialated Ferrari dominance.

Yet what people do not mention is that Ferrari beat them on home soil in Daytona soon after, it was a 1,2,3.
