And AFX brings it to you as the next edition in the SRT Collector Series.HISTORY Commissioned by Henry Ford, the GT40 was designed specifically to beat Ferrari at Le Mans, in part as a pay-back after Ferrari turned down Ford's offer to buy the famous Italian marque in 1963. Indeed, the GT40 did beat Ferrari at Le Mans in 1966, then again in 1967, '68 and '69, dominating endurance sports car racing over the entire period. GT40 #2 Drivers: Bruce McLaren / Chris Amon New Zealanders McLaren and Amon were in third behind the Miles and Gurney cars at LeMans in 1966 when Gurney retired late in the race. With the race coming to an end McLaren caught up to the slowing Miles and crossed the finish line a few feet back in second, as planned. But McLaren had lined up several yards in front of Miles at the start and because the rules determine the finish by the distance traveled Miles was demoted to second in what would become one of the most infamous finishes in motorsports history.
