This is a very cool video, worth it for the first 4 minutes (how often do you get driven around LeMans, at speed, by Stirling Moss?). In 1968 they were still using the "LeMans Start" and there was still no wall between the pits and the track. Excellent film, just kind of take the Ferrodo Brake blurbs in stride :shifty:
Enjoy

I've been looking all over for a metallic green Ford GT40 #12 that I remember from those days, and its in that video! Thank you very very much! I've been saving a white kit for years looking for that car. It is a medium green in the video, and I've also seen it light green.

That was cool! I like the privateers working on their cars, tools laying on the ground in a big pile, putting on their own numbers. I love this era of racing. You had the professional teams, and the little guys. Made for interesting racing. Thanks. :flags-usa:

I have this video on VHS, but it doesn't have the intro by Moss. It is a great movie.

Thanks for pointing out this video. The trip around the circuit is amazing. The Mulsanne Straight just keeps going and going and going....
