They did exactly that by reducing the displacement of the cars after the '67 Ford win at Le Mans from a maximum of seven liters to five liters. That didn't stop John Wyer, though, as the 289 GT-40s won Le Mans in the two successive year, '68 @ '69, with 1075 winning twice, the only car ever to do so.
