| Re: Spyder GT40
The Spyder sure has a complicated history and as Mike says was not too strong as a race car. The X-1 was quiet lucky to win the Sebring given the unforseen breakdown of Gurneys MKII so near the end. However it did contribute to Fords decision on the deadheat at Le Mans 1966 which effectively denied Ken Miles being the first driver to win Le Mans, Daytona and Sebring in the same season.
