That winning gt40 actively travels to hsr vintage races across America (as you can tell by my profile pic) so if you wanna see the winning car it still runs races!
@@camerongreenwoodcrampakacgc. I agree! I was 9 years old and was completely knocked over by this incredible event. My dad and I actually saw Gurney pushing his stricken Ford towards the start/finish at the end, an action that got him and Jerry Grant disqualified. Our next race was at Daytona for the 1967 24 Hours; a very different race indeed!
@@camerongreenwoodcrampakacgc. I first went to Watkins Glen in October 1973 for the USGP but sadly Cevert was killed in practice and I therefore missed seeing Sir Jackie Stewart in his final grand prix; went again in 1974 a race dominated by Reutemann in that outrageously sexy Brabham. Been to Lemans only once in 1989 hoping to see the Jaguars win again but they were trounced by Mercedes! British fans were very friendly and took me in once they learned that I was a Jaguar fan; got me quite drunk at that... 🤣
Hard luck for Dan Gurney at the start and end of the race. Poor guy could not catch a break.
Dan and Ken were on another level all year

1966.
My favourite 12 Hours At Sebring.
Apart from 1970, 1983
and many others.
It was my first; was also a very tragic race.
@gimmeshelter1969 Yes, it was very tragic, but it was great because of the cars and the drivers. Especially the GT40. :)

@@gimmeshelter1969 Lovely. What about Le Mans? And Watkins Glen AKA The Glen.
