Ford v Ferrari: The Ugly Truth Behind Ken Miles' Stolen Le Mans Win

Ford's GT40 didn't just end Ferrari's 6-year Le Mans dynasty in 1966 — it also delivered one of the most controversial finishes in motorsport history. Ken Miles led almost the entire race, was ordered to slow down for a "perfect photo," and lost the win on a technicality he was never told about. He died 3 months later, testing an even faster GT40, never knowing the full story. This is the real engineering battle behind Ford v Ferrari — from two years of total failure, to Carroll Shelby's reliability-first redesign, to the finish line decision that still divides racing fans 60 years later. #FordGT40 #LeMans #FordvFerrari #KenMiles #Ferrari #MotorsportHistory #CarrollShelby #ClassicCars
