Yeah. It was between Lotus and Lola.

They had a normal rough first couple of years racing the GT-40 at LeMans.
1964 was bad and then Shelby took over.
1965 only 1 of 11 starters finishing a the race.

Many lessons learned

I hope they put Richie Ginthers story in the movie.

He was told to go out and beat on the Ferraris......went from 8th to first in a couple of laps.

Down the Mulsanne straight he blasted past the leading Ferraris at over 200mph.....a first.

Had a 40 second lead a hour later.

Helluva driver.
