2025 marks 60 years since Ken Miles and Lloyd Ruby won the '65 Daytona 24 Hours in the Ford GT – the first step towards the Blue Oval famously beating Ferrari at Le Mans the following year. Today's Great Read tells the story of Miles, the driver and engineer who was so crucial to the triumph
That muddled triumph of 1966, when three Ford MkIIs bellowed across the line at La Sarthe to claim victory for the Blue Oval without knowing who was first, forms the dramatic core of the new fact-based film Le Mans '66 (or Ford v Ferrari in the US), and surprisingly it picks out a relatively unknown English driver and engineer to head the US cavalry against the bad guys – in this case that foreign fiend Enzo Ferrari.
