It’s unfortunate that I guess we’ll never know all of the facts, what with Miles dying not long after and most of the others involved gone now too. These days the TV coverage would have real-time GPS lap data, audio of all of the communications between pits and drivers, and 35 camera angles to catch every movement of every car. I think the ‘66 Le Mans was one of the first sports car races broadcast live, but of course it wasn’t all 24 hours like you can catch now through TV and internet. Certainly adds to the romance of the whole thing, though.
