The greatest ever Le Mans 24 Hours finish

The 1969 Le Mans 24 Hours was a landmark for many reasons, not least the famously close finish between Ford and Porsche. Adam Cooper recounts the tale of the race’s greatest finish.

I think this is still the closest competitive finish in the history of Le Mans.

Nah, that would be Ford vs. Ford vs. Ford in 1966--no knew which Ford won until well after the race was over!

My fave was the LMP1 4 years ago when the leading Toyota just. Stopped. On the last lap! The looks on the faces of the Toyota execs and crew were heartbreaking.
