A Ford Victory.
For the remaining hours, the Gurney / Foyt Mark IV kept the works Ferraris at bay. Decaled number one, it was Ford's sleek red supercar that took victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
This remarkable and heavily-reported event appears to have been a good note for Ford to end their motor sports campaign on. After Le Mans, no Mark IVs would race again. Ford had beat Ferrari at Le Mans - for the second time - and that's the story they were after.
