The 24 hours of Le Mans
June 18-19, 1966
4 P.M. Saturday to 4 P.M. Sunday
A grueling race while the clock ticks
Ken Miles was the man
Ford GT 40 # 1 was the car
Hard to say which
Was the bigger star
Assigned to Ford GT 40
The racing # 1
Possibly foretold
The true winner won
Ferrari against Ford
Bandini against Miles
Lap after punishing lap
The # 1 Ford smiles
Miles breaking the lap record
At a blistering pace
Passing all in his way
Commanding the race
Teammate McLaren in # 2 Ford
On the same lap
Would end up winning the race
By a technicality slap
Because McLaren started farther back
It was determined he won
But the real champion
Ken Miles in the Ford # 1
