Storms off. Those were the days...

Those were the days for sure! Great pic.

 

I wonder how many of the cars in that picture still survive? Probably more than one would think.

I own 3 of them.

Kudos Jim.

I think you should have equal numbers of GT40s (or derivatives thereof) and Ferraris.

I'm guessing luck is probably the smallest part of the equation, a lot of hard work and sacrifice it what gets the results.....

Jim, most if not all the members here appreciate you sharing all you can, when you can, on this site. Thanks a million

Jim, its a good job that's 1967 because there is one point at the start of the 1966 Le Mans race where the cars are lined up five a breast filling up the whole track with the Chaparral 2D on the outside. Where a Ferrari 330P3 makes contact with one of the Ford MKII as they leave the Le Mans start and swipes it luckily carrying on. If there contact was any more severe there would of been a major crash.
Regards Allan

Jim, am I mistaken but is the door on the # 21 car open as he makes his start?

It does look that way.

There was a habit at Le Mans of drivers shutting doors as they left the grid and of fixing there seatbelts along the Mulsanne Straight.
