We all know good and well Ken Miles won that race
@@ivanjulian2532 fuuuuck you, Ken Miles helped build that car, so he damn well desrved to do what he wanted with that car
@Crow yessir he help develop it too and saying he didn’t is honestly idiotic
Ivan Julian I’m gonna pretend I didn’t hear that
@@ivanjulian2532 you make a valid point, but you have to consider the fact that Ken broke the lap record 3 times, really he should've won in the end but Ford prevented him
Ivan Julian are you mad course he should have won that
Who came here after watching movie Ford vs Ferrari 👇
Me
Me
Me
me
I watched a movie called Le Mans '66
anyone else just focusing on ken miles?
Jack Dempsey more than just mclaren? Yeah! Mclaren is lair and cheater.. it’s makes mclaren look bad! And it’s true.. sad 😅
Me
Erickson Cameron mclaren didn't choose to win
Erickson Cameron how is he at all a cheater?
@@user-yp5mm4xq1t keep your eye on the finishing line mate @12:00
Ken Miles got robbed!! The Triple Crown should rightfully have been his!!
Shelby later said in an interview its something he's regretted all his life, that he shouldn't have told him what Ford wanted. Then again it's just a trophy, everyone knows who won that race and McLaren must have felt pretty bad winning when you know the other driver was much faster.
Agree with you: better to be a magnificent loser than a discount winner.
I guess everyone knows the story now after the watching the movie...
He could've won, but maybe it wasn't about that.
@@Speedytrip The McLaren/Amon car started on Firestone tires. That were a disaster. They lost a lot of laps early on until McLaren convinced them to change brands. They then ran down the Miles car. They were faster. McLaren and Amon had no reason to feel bad. Without the political interference they might have won anyway.
Ford v Ferrari recreated this scene beautifully, I hope everyone has plans to see that movie
I'm definitely going to see that movie!
I seen it👌😩
Really good movie. Although I do prefer the foreign title of Lemans 66 because it better describes the film, wasn't really a whole lot about Ferrari in the film, it felt more like Ford vs Ken Miles.
probably off to get some dinner
@@christenn32 its not only le mans,there is daytona too
This is just AMAZING period footage. Whenever I see something like this I feel genuinely lucky to live in the TH-cam era. The things I probably would never have seen otherwise.
Cameras (be it still or dedicated video or still with video are humans modern time machines - if photoshop isn't involved)
In the future i can relive these stuff probably.
It's a fabulous documentary, on par with anything I saw in class during film school.
the internet is the greatest and worst invention of our time..21st century Pandora's Box
@@ClavinZKLYeah lol
8:02 for Carroll and Ken
Looking for this comment
That was a huge achievement, considering they were not only fighting Ferrari. They were fighting the worst enemy of all, corporate marketing.
Co-operate marketing? I think you meant coRporate....
@@paulstandeven8572 Yes I did, and Corrected.
@@alexwolf8019 I don't get the option of editing my posts. Is that because I don't pay for TH-cam?
But to return to the point of your post - surely international car racing IS corporate marketing? That is the source of the incredible budgets for top level car racing these days.
But it always was a means of establishing the brand and selling more cars. As they said long ago "Win on Sunday, sell on Monday".
@@paulstandeven8572 I dont understand why you cannot edit your post? Its a standard option, Im not using anything special. Weird
@@alexwolf8019 I just found out how to edit my posts....
Ken Miles is a bigger gentleman than any race I have been in or seen and Ford owes a great deal of gratitude to him and his surviving family who lost a father and a husband while Ken gave his all and left it all on the track for Fords benefit not just his own. God Speed Miles and Shelby
I bet you believe there was Conflict between Ford and Miles, even though it was something English people made up. There was no conflict and the Shelby Team all helped improve the GT40, not just Miles
Gt40 is a dream car
The functionality of the GT40 with the beauty of the Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale would be quite something.
But if you really want a GT40, Superformance can make you a 'continuation' car for the price you might pay for a house....
@@paulstandeven8572 still a shit tone cheaper and safer than the real one
not in gt2
@@LDNT14 The real ones were built very strongly for crash protection - unusual in a race car of the era. They were heavier than many comparable race cars for that reason.
The Superformance cars are a close copy of the original, so are unlikely to be a huge amount safer in a crash. But detail improvements can make a huge difference.
@@paulstandeven8572 mate the original ones were wild dogs. This is a 50 year old younger GT40. I'm 1000% sure it's safer
Here after Ford Vs Ferrari!!
Same here, what an epic movie!!
@@ekhraj1469 yes it was!
same
Saw it yesterday
No such movie. Maybe you mean "Le Mans 66"
The complete lack of safety measures is hilarious. These racers truly had no fear!
Ken Miles was a genius for engineering and driving. There has never been anyone like him since. He won this race, completely robbed of it and passed away before he could win the next 2. The car he helped design was the ONLY American car to ever win Le Mans to this day... 3 years in a row. R.I.P Ken Miles.
Roy Lunn of Kar Kraft designed and built the GT40 MK11, this was shown in the film but the guy was not identified. His name was Roy Lunn . There was a committee headed by a guy called. John Cowley was the head of this group not Leo Bebe ( Bebe was responsible for Marketing) . Shelby & the other 2 team owners were also on that group . Ken Miles was very involved in testing & development, but he didn’t design or build the car from scratch.
Finally Shelby ran 3 cars in that race the Number 1, 2 & 3 cars,
As for him being a genius maybe but from 1967 through 1970 McLaren built the utterly dominant Can Am cars which dominated that series for years.
Bruce McLaren built his own cars which dominated Can Am,built his own F1 cars. Miles didn't build the GT40 from scratch. McLaren,Foyt,Gurney were all involved in testing as much as him. Also,McLaren won fair and square. The movie made Leo Beebe a villain. His family even considered suing the movie maker. He had no involment with the finish. Also,Enzo Ferrari wasn't even at the race.
@@beagle7622 Finally somebody that knows some History and didn't just watch the Movie. There also was no Rift between Miles and Ford
@@kadasrichard Thank you, That Movie was a Joke and completely smeared Ford and all who helped build the GT40
@@adamgt4037whats the problem with it
Ken Miles has been someone I’ve idealized since I was a kid and to watch this along with the new movie is just awesome. What a guy and to do it at his age! Those GT40’s flat out on the Mulsanne, holy shit!
Ken Miles alive getting out of that car in the pit lane gave me goose bumps
0:40 When you look at the caliber of cars taking that corner, you realize every vehicle is probably worth 10 mil or more nowadays. Madness. Great footage.
8:02
Imagine racing the same 3 minute road course for 8 hours long..... Forget the engine holding up, can you?
I thought they did 4 hour stints. I'm no expert. Weren't there 4 drivers. How did that work over 24 hours, with I assume, nighttime being the most exertive.
they were exchanging drivers, so for example, if ken miles is tired, then the other one will replaced him
Donald Duck ok 4 hours racing the same 3 minutes over and over
@@donaldduck1828 Nope, in 1966 there were 2 drivers per car so basically 12 hours each but that wasn’t mostly the case, today we have 3 drivers and 1 driver can drive a maximum of 12 hours and a minimum of 6 hours, the record for a driver was in 1950 where Louis Rosier drove for 23 hours and 50 minutes while his son drove only 2 full laps and they won
3:37 Henry Ford flying off in helicopter🚁🤔
Great observation
So you guys watched the movie too.
@@mtekleel yea lol
You got that fron the movie ye?
*Henry Ford II
Ken miles was a legend until his accident rip ken miles the best gt40 racer out there
*still a legend
qwertyuiop thank you
qwertyuiop yeah.. thank you for correcting him 🤷🏻♂️😐
Still a legend bud
A legend huh?... so how talented was Ken Miles in F1?....
Any of you "experts" care to explain that?
RIP Ken Miles you were amazing, here after finishing Ford v Ferrari DAMN It was amazing
0:19 “BLOODY JOE”
ford marketing robbed Ken Miles of the triple crown just for a photo op... shame on them.
Dude the movie was so so amazing the ending was sad though.
t'was good for the cantankerous ken.
being a part of a team and acting as a team usually wins championships.
builds lifelong bonds with other human beings, etc...
but when you have Ken Miles on your team, it is like having Jim Brown at RB, Gordie Howe at RW, Niklas Lidström and Bill Russel on D, Lionel Messi at Striker, Nikola Tesla, Louis Pasteur, Archimedes, argh!
I digress.
Saddest thing, about Ken Miles untimely death, is the impact to his family(spouse and offspring), the impact to his family(friends, foes, teammates), the impact to the development of automobiles and technology.
We All Lost!
Engineers cannot test their own designs...
That is why they send in the professionals.
Testers, Tinkerers, Mechanics, Diag...
ken miles won on that racetrack multiple times that day. you don't need a trophy or podium appearance to indicate to oneself that one has 'won'.
you do need a job, supporting your livelihood...
Everybody already knows that most 'professional racing governing bodies' are corrupt and utterly non-chivalric.
look what happened to Ayrton Senna...
From what I know he was told to slow down because of something dangerous on the track, so they could get the photo
Miles did win, the officials or whatever cooked up a rule that was never in the rule book to stop Miles from winning.
Miles got screwed! :(
2 years ago I commented...here I am again....Still transfixed!
8000RPM good luck with that insonia lol
Till to this day ,Ken miles should have been the first ever racer to have the triple crown
No. Just no. He blew it. It's as simple as that.
Furthermore he was No Dan Gurney and he sure as hell was no Jim Clark. Not to mention Phil Hill, Oliver Gendebien, Jacky Ickx, Joseph Siffert, Hans Stuck, Jochen Mass, Stefan Bellof, Derek Bell and so on.
Including the fact that yes - _"gasp!"_ dare I say - he was no Chris Amon or Bruce McLaren.
McLaren had no real honour to get up onto that first place podium. I may be speaking on bias because I just saw the movie, but in looking up more about this real event. From what I can see, the movie gets it right in that basically, McLaren did not really have the lead, Miles did. And any real person with a sense of achievement in his or her blood would not hold up that number 1 trophy based on a technicality. Especially one as controversial as this one. Only a loser would think they were the real winner at this point.
I don’t think we’ll ever know really but McLaren is not to blame.
And for all he knew he might have been the winner. Miles who suffered at least 3 laps lost due to brake issues might have been down a lap or penalized or something for all he knew. McLaren raced as he was told to. And it’s not like at the end of a race your told you are the winner but then have a chance to personally decide someone else should get it.
Problem was Ford trying to do that stupid 360 lap tie. And who knows who decided on it. In some interviews Shelby says he came up with the idea and regretted it. In others he has said it came down from above him. Miles had to lose about 4 laps, 3 which were lost in the pits. Then he had drive super slow. Both him and McLaren said they didn’t want to be second.
I’m also not sure where the actual finish line was then, and it may not have been (and likely wasn’t) at the actual checkered flag. The race technically finishes at 24 hours, and distance traveled determines the winner. They weren’t the first to be screwed, not even in that race. (The Alpine 11th/12th place cars had similar issues.) And they weren’t the last....cough cough Toyota.
@gutz1981 - I agree with everything you said. Unfortunately, they were all doing what they were told to do. McLaren probably didn’t want to win that way, Miles certainly didn’t want to lose at all... But Ford needed their photographed “F-you” to Enzo Ferrari. It’s a shame.
McLaren had no honour? A loser? Seriously? You know what that guy did in motorsport?
@@pistolfish8688 All I know is that if you are a man of fair play and deep down you know that your victory came at some kind of expense of someone else, then you do all you can to make sure the person who LET YOU WIN is recognised or you step down all together. I have met a lot of people who have no problem taking credit or not even acknowledging that someone else gave them what they got. And those people live their lives in a state of delusion where they eventually make an excuse for anything.
@Ziarab Hussain My apologies. McLaren was a loser, he was a despicable person for taking this win. They should remove his name from the records. Give it to Miles because he really came first. What a gutless prick McLaren was. Complete Douche. He was fine later on but here he was a disgrace.
Anyone else see that grudge tap from that Ferrari on the GT40
Where was it
During the aerial shot of everyone leaving @ the beginning.
Ferrari: sees that ford made a good car
Also Ferrari : *angry pasta noises*
Almost hit Ken too.
Came here after movie straight to garage to work on my hot rod
Ken Miles is my 2nd favourite driver of all time, 1st is Jim Clark for Lotus and Ayrton Senna 3rd
Enormous respect I have for these 3 drivers with unbelievable talent
Ken Miles “the best”
Nope. Sorry.
Amazing to see such images from way back then. Surely, Ford vs Ferrari was a great rivalry. Much respect to K. Miles and C. Shelby for pushing that project.
It's waaaaaaay past my bedtime, but I was transfixed when I started watching. Thank you, thank you , thank you!!!
glad u liked it =)
Anybody who gave this thumbs down is not a race fan. Any time I can see race footage I am in! Seeing those classic race cars or even going to the classic events and actually talking to these guys in the paddock is a fantastic experience.
The smell of the cars, brakes and rubber, even the turbulence created by the speed as they cut through the air never gets old for me. Nothing like a “ sport car” race!
9:38 to 10:10 Camera men had some fun
Little dude demands attention, who can say no??
Cheeky lads

"They robbed you, Ken."

Fantastic footage - so great!
Its an honour to watch the actual footage of ken miles,phil and carol shelby....
I was there for that race. My father was stationed in Germany and took me to it. I was six years old at the time. It was one of the best times of my life.
Great highlights clip. So many focused only on the result. Remember the result happens after the race . The racing is what matters. Great commentary pieces from the various drivers. Thanks for the upload.
I was 10 years old when this race took place and at that time a popular hobby was slot car racing. There was a large track at a concession store just a few houses from where I lived, it took up the whole basement and was in a figure 8 configuration and had 4 slots. My parents had bought (I believe a year earlier) slot car racing set with a 2 slot track and 4 cars. I believe the cars were a Ferrari, Chaperral, Porsche, and the Ford GT which was my favorite.
This was fun to watch. When I was a kid this was fantastic and I loved the GT-40.
Good Quality 1966 Le Mans clip indeed! Thank You So Much for sharing! Stay Safe & Safe Humble! 🕯🌷🕊🌎♥️🇨🇵
Good Quality Video Restoration for the Classic Race! R.I.P. Ken Miles & Thank You So Much for Sharing! ♥️🌷🕯
A dream of mine is to built a perfect replica of Ken Miles' GT40
Have you made progress?
Its feel amazing watching 54 years old video ... Its like going back to it histroy ...
Thank you very much for this great footage. I have to smile using the term footage, as everything now is digital!
I watched parts of this race live, listened to a lot of it, this is an awesome video.
Love the sound of those cars
Amazing video! Thanks for posting!
I love these old race cars
The fact that footage from 1960s looks far better and more modern than footage from 1990s & 2000s really concerns me.
Ken miles is the real winner
Try again... _"race fan"_ ....
An amazing moment of time.
What a beautiful piece of footage.
The Leica m3 at 7:35 . Wish I could view the photos he took that day with that set up! Iconic race photos with an iconic camera.
great job bring this footages! salute
Most epic cars in auto history of that year. I have collected every model from that race and nothing compares to those artisan designs. Greatest of all times.
i watch movie and now I can't stop watching and read about la mans,ken milles and ford history 😁 i am a big fan of history and automoto sport
Fantastic video, thanks so much for uploading.
Appreciated !
Thank you so much for the great video!
I'd love to have a Superformance GT40 MKII in my garage just to look at it! Also drive it of course ;)
This footage is awesome, tnx for sharing
The earth tone yellow-green color at 0:07 is gorgeous. That color would look great on the modern GT.
KEN MILES 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Here after watching Le Mans in cinema
Will Bateman you mean ford vs Ferrari but technically Le Mans 1966
@@magnusb.20 Le Mans is the name of the movie
Will Bateman no it’s Ford vs Ferrari
Yea in the UK it’s called Le Mans 66 for some reason
Rambo Squarepants ohhhhhhh that makes no sense at all but I guess ur right
To all of you who bought into “Ford vs Ferrari”….it managed to make it appear that Ken Miles drove the 24 Le Mans solo! He happened to have had a superb co-driver, Denny Hulme. THEY could be said to have won. This takes nothing away from KM’s role or driving, and watching him here on the West Coast in his MG Specials, RSK’s, etc. in the 50’s was sheer joy.
filmato FAVOLOSO!!!! questa e' storia!! complimenti anche a chi ha fatto il film (Ford vs Ferrari).... spettacolare ed emozionante!
Truly amazing footage !
Gearz70 especially at sundown, beautiful colorful sky
Gearz70 red skies in mornings sailors take warnings, red skies at night? - sailors delight
Truly beautiful, magnificent peices of machinery the GT40s were.
2:53 just watch their line and keen posture. At that age I was going round on rails onboard a micro Bentley in the Munich zoo when I already thought 'heaven'. The film is so beautifully crisp and when Graham Hill comes roaring past the pits leading the party you almost hear the theme from 'The Magnificent Seven'. I know the 6es were fabulous, but the sights and sounds of the GT40s forever have my bravos. Each one of the 7 litres. Thankyou :)
6:59 😁
Incredible footage!!!
Never fails to amaze me how futuristic and sexy many sportscars looked in the ‘60s. The Ferrari P3/4 was the most beautiful sports car ever created IMO. The pinnacle was reached with the McLaren F1 in the ‘90s. Today what do we have? Bugatti Veyron, the sawn-off fuselage of a Hercules transporter with the face of a bloodhound 🤮
So.....the door did shut?
Finally yes
It did look that way didn't it, I wish we were able to see more of it from 66.
Great footage, ambiance coverage
The movie should’ve been called Ford v Ford because the conflict was all internal. Ferrari was never the antagonist; they were the goal.
Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon driving a Ford GT40 Mk.II, what a wonderful time!
Dont forget about Ken Miles.
DankeUde Ken Miles and his teammate should have been declared the winners instead, as they clearly were!!!
@@gowen_places_5471Just not true!
Dennis Merwood so what’s the truth huh?
@@sonda03Will we ever know huh? All 4-drivers are long gone now. Chris Amon did a couple of really good interviews before his passing. You can find them on TH-cam.
Did Ford paint it's cars red to troll Ferrari?
styleemusic yes!! u can find small things where ferrari and ford definitely had bitterness against the other. this is where racing became not just sport or game but “who’s the best of the best” remember this is 1966!! ferrari was arrogant and could not stand being beat by a “dirty american” it was definitely rivalry and shelby went hard in this very proud for USA. Enzo did the same to ferruccio who later invented lamborghini after being confronted as a farm boy not able to buy expensive car from ferrari! Lambo used to make tractors before their supercars to shove it in enzo’s face afterwards. Anyway. ferrari was so embarrassed that he did NOT race on his own track for some time after ford whooped ass in 1966
@@FortMetallica it was just to identify the different cars
styleemusic m8 that’s orange
styleemusic I think.... I hope I’m not blind
styleemusic wait nvm that’s weird I thought you were talking about Ken Miles car
Me encantou está história. O filme ficou massa!!!
I’ve seen a GT40 in real life multiple actually and one of them had the 24 hrs of Daytona livery on it and I must say absolutely beautiful car it both looks and sounds amazing
I honestly wish that we had the full race
In 1970, Steve McQueen was filming LeMans and actually qualified for the race. The movie studio said "no."
Three years later I agree with you. SMcQ was so much more than an actor.
Just watched the Ford V Ferrari movie, and the movie really captured the actual race perfectly!
Great footage!
9:38 Wow
Dude... those are somebody's grandmas...shame on us..err... you!
"The most splendidly set up set of rules of any race in the world"
Ken Miles fans would disagree with you there mate.
ThePeople'sPanzer yes indeed
Blame his team, not the rules which were clearly stated.
Beautiful!
The world was wonderful. I want to go back.
Ken miles good men RIP 😭
AMERICA'S BIGGEST SPORT TRIUMPH IN EUROPE, AND 4 TIMES CONSECUTIVELY ..........HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!
The badge and the engine block was american the rest was british..
Julian V. ‘65 would have been Ford’s too, but Ferrari held sway and made it an all-Italian event.
!967 & 1968 was won by the same car. :)
this is what happens when ur rich and cant put in work. Enzo did same to ferruccio lamborghini who was also rich and italian, wanted to purchase a ferrari. Enzo said “no!! farm boys dont drive my cars.” This is where lamborghini blended into the supercar industry after manufacturing TRACTORS!! enzo was all talk no walk. Very proud for UK and USA to team up and show him real work on HIS OWN TRACK!! very embarrassing
FortMetallica that's not what happened. Lamborghini had bought a Ferrari, and found it to have a lot of issues, when he had the chance, he let Enzo know it and Enzo told him he knew nothing about cars, that he was just a farmer. That made him so angry that he built a car company just to show Ferrari he could do it better.
lt was about 1964 and l was about 13. There was a slot car track that opened up in my town. l was a Chevy guy but l bought a Cox Ford GT slot car to take to the track. l just liked the looks of it.
Ken Miles should be awarded that race and triple crown
How could McLaren accept the victory after being demolished by Ken Miles`s performance... and go on to celebrate like he actually won on track. This I don`t get..
That's nothing. Mike Hawthorn nd Jaguar declined to retire from the race after his mistake caused 84 deaths in 1955 le mans. Merc was leading nd decided to retire, they asked Jaguar to do the same, but victory is victory to some. The way they achieve that victory is of no consequence to them.
@@rajatstudio Wow disgusting if you tell me.
If anyone is interested there's a great documentary about this race called "The 24 Hour War" that shows what happened in a less "Hollywood" way than Ford vs. Ferrari.
Definitely better than Ford vs. Ferrari in the matter-of-fact way. You wouldn't believe how much that movie got wrong.
@@applescruff1969 cry
That was so badass I had goosebumps!
At 12:03 you can see Miles Ford #1 crossing the finish line AFTER #2, so why is it the opposite on the movie?
Wow so surprisingly Ken Miles let Car number 2 to pass the finish line first !, It was his choice, respect :)
He didn't, they crossed side by side, there was no photo finish at the time, or accurate measurement devices, they decided who was the winner on who traveled the furthest. Since Bruce McLaren started further back in the grid, they gave him the win. And it wasn't Ken Miles' choice, he was told to slow down when he was a lap ahead, so the 3 Fords would come together as a PR stunt.
A Doco on the 3 Kiwi drivers. Bruce & Denny & Chris.
www.nzonscreen.com/title/trio-at-the-top-2001
@@skynet3d maybe your blind, in real life and you can see it in video the number 2 car crossed the line more than a car length ahead, there is a finishing line and flag man. The rule about where you started ie the staggered start at Lemans ONLY applies if there is a dead heat. In this case this never happened it was just a formation finish, the third ford as example was four laps down but they had slowed so he could cross the line with the other two fords.
Yes indeed. He knew he was a lap ahead so was content to allow BMW to unlap himself over the finish line. That fact was brushed under the carpet by Ford and the French authority to satisfy Ford's marketing needs. KM gave his all to that team effort and they did that to a dedicated true racer.
Who else came here after watching Ford v Ferrari?
Very cool video indexing!
I'll be checking them out...
24 hrs of McQueen LeMans? 🤗
This was the race the movie Ford vs Ferrari had potrayed in the last race scene. Good watch.
