Subject: today's history lesson
The Speedvision web site has been posting historical
recaps of each LeMans 24 hr race as part of a count
down to next month's French classic. Today's article
covers the 1964 race. That was the year that Ford
(Shelby American) emerged as a serious competitor in
the sports car arena. Check it out:
