Le Mans 1966 sound track to the race...

[RCT]

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...

That response alone has made it all worthwhile!

Cheers.

Part one is great but there are no continuation links. At the end the only link was to the '66 victory by the Ford GT-40 (with voiceover in German).

To view the other videos, click the original YouTube link for Part 1. You will then see 'automotivemedia' and '41 videos' above the picture screen. Click on '41 videos' and scroll across for all the remaining tracks.

After the part 1 finishes, just click on the 41 videos link at the top, the story then just continues on its own.
It's brill takes me back to my youth when we had an album of
formula 1 engine sounds.
