snakeeyes, great info !!!

I remember Shelby giving an interview, about the time of the series 1 production, where he talked about the 1966 Lemans. Shelby stated that during a conversation with Ford management near the end of the race, he , himself, brought up the idea of having the cars finish together, in a tie, so everybody would be happy, including Ford due to the publicity. He then stated that the outcome was not what he expected, and he has regretted that decision ever since, for how it affected Miles.

Also, watching the highlights of the race, at dusk, Miles is in the lead. At dawn, McLaren/Amon are in the lead, and miles/Hulme are second. I watched an interview with Amon where he stated that when he was in the lead, he was instgructed by management to slow down, which he did, but Miles/Hulme did not, thus passing them, and retaking the lead. Well, if this is true, then this muddies up the "true" winner ?
