      @@adillakandi.r if the story is correct and the GT40's needed that much fixing to get them to race well, Shelby American is really the hero. Ford would have never done it without Carroll Shelby.
      I also would give a lot of credit though to whoever engineered the 427, that's really why those GT40's were even that fast and would last 24 hours.

    I spoke to Pete Brock ( designer of the Cobra Daytona Coupe) recently. He was at “Shelby ground zero” for this whole time period. He said Shelby would not have been as successful as they were had it not been for Ken Miles. He said Ken put his heart and sole into the testing of the cars, and the GT40s were the result of his dedication.

    You know I had never followed racing too intently. My uncle use to run/manage Ascot Speedway and the Corona Raceway here in SoCal back in the 70's. We had a blast as kids watching the stock car and crazy eight races. I also had a boss that I worked for about 20 years ago that was big into Nascar, etc. He knew Danica Patrick personally way before she became famous. We'd talk a lot about that stuff. He pitted for her crew and stood up for her as well.
    What I am getting at is, I always had an intrigue into the sport. Now in my 50's, I watched Ford vs Ferrari and was blown away! An amazing film in and of itself, but the historical facts from what I have been reading are pretty spot on. I am now a HUGE Ken Miles fan. From what I have gathered is he is one of the unsung heroes of the sport of racing. For his legacy, I am really happy for his family that he was brought to light.
    With all that said my wife and I now attend the Long Beach Gran Prix here in my town and have a blast as fans!

      IN FACT, if Ken Miles hadn't been ordered to slow down he would have EASILY WON Le Mans by at least 34 seconds.
