In 1966, Ford beat Ferrari at Le Mans. Everyone knows the story.
Few know what it looked like from the inside.
This is the manuscript of Graham Scott (1950–2024), a mechanical engineer who witnessed those races as a young motor enthusiast, was a Ford scholarship recipient, and later worked with racing teams in the UK and North America. In his own words, he describes why Ford won, how the GT40 was developed, and what the team environment was really like.
It is the original manuscript by the engineer who lived through the races and who recounts—using technical data, real events, and names—why Ford won at Le Mans.
