Editorial Reviews
Product Description
The story of the classic confrontation between the classic Ford GT40 as it took on - and beat - the all-dominant Ferraris at Le Mans. A story of hard work, dedication, disappointment, tragedy, and ultimately of complete and repeated success. Hodges recollections of six epic seasons of endurance racing and of the legacy they left to international motorsport form a fascinating repeat view of what many regard as the golden period of the postwar era. Includes a record of ownership and ID of each car, plus a race record listing the fate of all GT40s entered in major events. Rev. ed.
