Filed in archive Vintage Racing by Philip Powell on July 5, 2006
Just in case your appetite for next week's Goodwood Festival of Speed wasn't sufficiently whetted by an already spectacular lineup of famous cars and drivers, here's one that should send you scurrying to the hillclimb course. Ford has just announced that it will enter one of the legendary GT40 coupes from the team's 1-2-3 Le Mans finish in 1966. The car, painted in its original black and gold livery, will be driven by Le Mans winners Dan Gurney (1966) and jackie
Oliver (1969). The company is celebrating the 40th anniversary of a victory that eventually became part of an historic 4-year winning streak.Permalink: Dan Gurney to Drive Le Mans-winning Ford GT40 at Goodwood
