The greatest run in Le Mans history started with getting fired.
On December 31, 1966, Ford paid severance to a stiff, tall man named John Wyer and his entire staff of Ford Advanced Vehicles in Slough, England, the British team that developed the GT40. This official break between Wyer and Ford started one of the most successful runs at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in its hundred-year history.You see, Ford hired Wyer to run its whole GT40 operation.
If the GT40 story ended there, it would look like the American side of Ford had it right, and Wyer’s English side was all wrong. Things are worse if you learned about the GT40 in the theater;A Mirage M1 at Le Mans ’67 tucked behind a GT40 Mk II. Note the aerodynamic cockpit and Gulf colors.But Wyer stuck to his guns and proved himself right.
