Le Mans 1966 – WINNER Driver: Bruce McLaren / Chris Amon
At the last pit stop of the race, three Mark IIs were in front. Ken Miles and Denny Hulme (#1) were leading, followed by Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon (#2) in the same lap. Ronnie Bucknum and Dick Hutcherson (#5) were third, but twelve laps behind.
At the finish, Ford decided to stage publicity photo between Miles/Hulme and McLaren/Amon with the No. 5 following, too. According to witnesses, McLaren left a small margin to Miles and it was expected than Miles/Hulme will be declared winner after the examination of the photo finish.
But the ACO declared the McLaren/Amon car had won the race, having covered more distance in 24 hours, as it had started the race several places behind the Miles/Hulme car.
The ACO estimated the difference to 8 meters. This was a terrible disappointment for Ken Miles, who expected the triple crown Daytona-Sebring-Le Mans as a reward for his investment in the GT40 development.
The finish remains the closest in Le Mans history.
