Lotus 19B was run at Daytona in 1965 as a Shelby entry, in Shelby colors and under the direction of FoMoCo. He was to be the "rabbitt" and set a fast pace in hopes that the Ferraris would give chase and fail while the GT40s held back to finish. It was not an "AAR" entry. I do not believe that the Lotus was ever run under the AAR banner. The first entries of any cars as "AAR" happened in 1966.
