I wish an English broadcast , TV or radio, of the race existed. Somehow I saw the race on TV in America that year. Memorable because I heard Sam Posey interviewed and a remarkable ✌ victory for Rindt, Gregory, Ferrari.
Wide world of sports covered it I believe. They were there at the start for sure. Ford was favored to win that year. Only because the GT40 was so much faster than the Ferrari 330 P2. But neither of these were around at the end.
The Kansas City Flash! I am so proud to know that a fellow Kansan got to compete in European style road racing on the world stage against icons like Moss, Rindt, Andretti, Hulme, and Clark and be just as legendary as them! Masten Gregory is a true inspiration to me. I'd love to be able to accomplish even half of what he did!
I was there that year but I have no real recollection of where I was at the race's end. I generally moved around from the start area up to the S-bends.
@@raffins1984 i agree the 1970 steve mcqueen movie won the #22 porsche but in reality he won the #23 with the #3 LH on the back, and in 1966 he won the ken miles ford gt but in reality he won the #2 black, Hollywood is a sham.
Amazing footage showing how slow those cars were going at the end. The winning Ferrari was laps ahead of the next car so it didn't matter if they were passed as they were running down the clock to 4 pm and the finish. There was a story that neither Rindt or Gregory wanted to do the race so they drove the car hard in an attempt to break it but it didn't break, not until a mechanic was driving it onto the transporter when the gearbox, which was the cars Achilles heel, broke.
it's even more weird than that. Gregory did the first stint and missed a shift revving the engine way past redline and it didn't hurt it. He gets back to the pits and Jochen Rindt is in his street cloths so convinced the car would break before he got to drive it. Masten had to convince him the car was worth running. 4 hours before the finish they trailed the factory works 250lm by 2 laps but going down the mulsanne straught the leading Ferrari blew a tire. After things got sorted Gregory/Rindt went from 2 laps down to 2 laps ahead. Now the really weird part. The Ferrari factory cars were all on Dunlop tires as Ferrari had an exclusive contract with them. But this Ferrari was entered by Luigi Chinetti's North American Racing Team or N.A.R.T. as it was know and ran Goodyear tires. With 2 hrs to go the team boss for the Ferrari factory approuched Chinetti and asked if he would let the second place Ferrari(the factory)retake the lead as it wouldn't look good for a Goodyear shod car to win considering their contract with Dunlop. Promises were made for big discounts on Ferrari road cars to Luigi if he threw the race. Which did nothing but piss him off. He told the guy, "you want me to tell them not win? How are you going to do that?" As he walked away.
@@plantfeeder6677 The winning car sits in the Indianapolis raceway museum and there is a fascinating VinWicki video on RUclips talking about the race. Something I hadn't heard before was that at dawn Gregory didn't think he could drive with the sun shining off his glasses so a mechanic jumped in with Gregory's helmet and drove until the sun was high enough not to shine off Gregory's glasses. As the mechanic was not listed as a driver, nothing was said by the team.
I mean the only one that finished was in 20th sooo. They won the 1000k at the Nurburgring twice I think and once at the 12 hrs of Spa though. Such a shame the m63 and m64 are gorgeous

"You know that's a good car. I stuffed the clutch in that thing and revved it to 7,800 rpm and it didn't even bend the valves."-Masten Gregory to Caroll Shelby after the victory.
Ed Hugus drove the NART 250LM's late night/early morning stint with Gregory and Rindt Did NOT go to the podium. For his own reasons.. As related to me by Tony a2z...
Actually because of Ferrari's neglect of building road cars, the 250LM had to be run in the prototype category even though the car was built to run as a GT but Ferrari failed to build the 50 required to enter that category. It stood no chance against the GT40 and 330 P2 but 24 hrs is a great equalizer.
Big possibilities that these four Ferraris still exist and in Major Players garage---and at Pebble Beach type shows. Be interesting to see the looks on their faces if people piled on the cars like the mechanics did when they came in on the last lap!!! LOL!!!
The race-winning 21-car does exist. It is owned by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum. On RUclips search for "1965 Le Mans Winning Ferrari", I believe.

the previous disaster you are referring to as nothing to do with pedestrians on the track, but rather a burning car going airborne and landing on the crowd.
Correct, the '55 disaster had nothing to do with spectator ignorance. However, it would not take much for crowd distraction to affect a driver's judgement and take them to an early grave. This is in an era where drivers were killed as regularly as sunrise on a Sunday morning because of limited track safety. Even authorised people get it wrong, look at what happened to the young track Marshall and a budding F1 talent Tom Pryce at Kyalami in '77, 12 years later and truly horrific.
Match fixing races just for publicity is NOT racing and should come with disqualifications by all who do such things. In 66 the rightful winner outright was KEN MILES and DENNIS HULME GT 40 History records must show this
@@thethirdman225 mclaren said to Amon he was going to race to win Mclaren cheated much to his discredit Ken miles won in the hearts of many. Shelby lost too for he left the USA and hid in Africa ashamed of his actions.
@@yfffadkcud6201 Since both Miles and McLaren have been dead for more than 50 years and Amon died three or four years ago, I find it most unlikely that you know any of them. Furthermore, I’m comprehensively disinterested in yet another internet conspiracy theory. Good day to you.
I didn't know any TV footage of this race still existed. This is a really pleasant surprise.

I count eight guys on that 250LM! And it had already survived Rindt and Gregory (and Hugus) really beating it! Rugged little car!
Great footage! Thank you for posting!
素晴らしい！貴重な映像をありがとうございます。ル・マンサルテサーキット、この頃や70年代前期の雰囲気が好きです。映画栄光のル・マンにでも見る事の出来る、テルトルルージュコーナー近くのダンロップブリッジが映ってますね。現在の方が安全性は高くてドライバーにも良いんでしょうけど。

The little Renault Alpines were amazing that year, beating many faster cars. The 906 Porsche’s also did an amazing job being only 2 litres.

@@ryanmarshall-gorski1216 I might have the wrong year for the Porsche 906 . It may have been a 1966 car.

Also Alfa Romeo with the Giulia TZ2 was present in that year.

#5823 NART 250LM !!
1949 - 1965
9 wins
First and last for Luigi Chinetti Jr.
FORZA FERRARI
And Luigi Chinetti won Lemans as a driver 3 times. 1932, 1934, and 1949 giving the brand Ferrari its first ever victory in that race.
"You know that's a good car. I stuffed the clutch in that thing and revved it to 7,800 rpm and it didn't even bend the valves."-Masten Gregory to Caroll Shelby after the victory.
All the Fords out that year, apart from one Daytona Coupe.
Ed Hugus drove the NART 250LM's late night/early morning stint with Gregory and Rindt
Did NOT go to the podium.
For his own reasons..
As related to me by Tony a2z...
is there a Corvette with a 396 and disc brakes??
When supercars were beautiful .....

What are those idiots doing on the track @4:00 ??? That horrific disaster 10 years earlier didn't live long in the memory it seems!
It's a very slow part of the track and they stood far from the ideal arch.
