Ford's mechanical carnage at Le Mans included the Daytona Cobras as well and only the Jack Sears/Dick Thompson car (CSX2299) survived despite the damage shown here caused by a collision with an Alfa Romeo. Thompson approaches Tertre Rouge followed by the Rover-B. R. M. on his way to 8th place and 1st in the GT 5000 class.

75 cars started the Nurburgring 1000 kms and this picture starts with the 17th fastest Ford-France Ford GT40 (1003) of Henri Greder/Jean-Michel Giorgi that will finish 5th. Alongside is Heini Walter's Ferrari 250LM (5905) that he shared with Peter Ditzler and the number 82 Team VDS Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ 2 of Serge Trosch/Teddy Pilette. Two more Ford GT40s follow, the Ed Nelson/Peter de Klerk 1009 and Colin Crabbe's 1021 with its distinctive roof blister to accommodate Crabbe's height, co-driven by Roy Pierpoint. Further up the line can be glimpsed Paul Vestey's dark blue Ferrari 275GTB/C (9035) the ex-Maranello Concessionaires 1966 Le Mans car.

The business end of Ford's new MkII at Le Mans reveals the stock car racing 427 cubic inch (7 litre) engine that offered a relatively modest 450 bhp but huge torque. Two were entered but they were effectively experimental and neither raced again
