When the top brass in Dearborn committed Ford to international sportscar competition, they were determined to vanquish the unstoppable Ferraris and exchange fortunes at Le Mans. The Ford Motor Company succeeded with the incomparable GT40 racing cars; its triumphs included 4 consecutive victories at Le Mans! For 1966, Ford would launch an assault with no less than eight 7-liter Mk IIs!
