Le Mans 1966 sound track to the race...
« on: December 28, 2010, 10:52:14 pm »
I have uploaded 16 audio tracks to YouTube from a rare vinyl LP featuring the sounds of Le Mans 1966 linked with personal accounts of drivers who took part. The audio is split into 16 parts, and really does capture the atmosphere of Le Mans and this historic battle when Ford finished in the top three places with the GT40 MkII.

Enjoy!


Link to Part 1 and you can pick up the others from here...

Listened to it yesterday, a quite remarkable record!
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.
