An iconic vehicle in endurance motorsport
The legendary Graham Hill drove the Ford GT 40 Mkll through the famous 24-hour race in northern France. To date, Hill is the only racing driver to have won the Triple Crown of motorsport, ie victories in Formula 1, the Indy 500 and the French 24-hour race. The Ford GT 40 was redesigned especially for the 1966 season - the 4.7 liter engine was replaced with a larger, more powerful 7.0 liter engine. Graham Hill, who has already won two world championship titles in Formula 1, is still considered one of the greatest racing drivers of all time.
