Race Report video #3 takes us back to Sebring International Raceway, this time in 1966 so we have in many ways a direct sequel to RR#1. There are some rather graphic images contained in this video of the crashes that marred the race, so viewer discretion in that sense is advised. Citations & Transcript are at: lenslr.wordpre...

Marios Ferrari doesn't look like it was damaged by sand...Definitely leaves one wondering. Great historical re-cap of a memorable Sebring.

I finally got to LeMans in 2000, but never made to Sebring, Now it feels like I have actually been there back when it was a good growing race. Thank You, Dennis my favorite segment was interviewing Ken Miles. He was so valuable to setting the cars up.

4:47 Appreciate the ingenuity of the spectators for coming up with that. I'd have loved to see the race from the elevated van.

I second the person above saying he hopes you get more subs and view. Just watched the 65 race on this channel yesterday and now this. The extra info is great. Thanks

It's a shame you didn't mention the Alfa TZ2's in the thumbnail - and the image when you were talking about the Dino 206

Oh just commented the same

How do you mistake a TZ2 for a Dino 206?! Hardcore enthusiast…

Ahhh, it’s JUST two AUTODELTA’s with Udine plates🍀🍀😎

Even without the TZ2’s and Porsche 904’s being elaborated on it’s a nice video. Thx for that

@lenslr 8 месяцев назад

I guess I'll have to do a follow up on those Alfas at the very least. Thanks

Awesome video! Can’t wait for more, really enjoying this series so far

I think Briggs Cunningham was also the inventor of the aptly named device called the, wait for it - 'Cunningham' that was an eyelet near bottom of the leading edge of the mainsail that a hook was fastened that tension could be applied to which had the effect of flattening the sail to spill air to depower when sailing close to the wind.

You are correct. Quite the talented chap

@ 10:50 These are Alfa Romeo TZ2s, no Ferrari Dino 206

I am so glad RU-vid suggested your video! I hope more people get the same suggestion I got because you deserve way more views. I subbed to your channel and left a comment and a like, hope it helps. I really enjoyed this, thank you.

I very much enjoyed the video. Liked and subscribed. One small nit. At 14:25 you refer to Miles co-driver as Jack Ruby. I believe it should be Lloyd Ruby, not Oswald's assassin. Thanks for your work and keep it up!

@lenslr 8 месяцев назад

Yeah, missed that one. All through scripting I knew I was going to make the mistake in recording, tried drsparately not to, listened to the recording twice before publishing (admittedly with a glass of scotch in hand), still managed to miss it. I wish there was a way to re-upload a video to correct for those sort of small things without having it reset everything.

@dony4368 8 месяцев назад

It was a small nit to pick. I watched the video again with a glass of bourbon in hand and it disappeared!!

Thank you! I took one of my degrees in law and then didn't make use of it, so perhaps that's the root cause.. Haha

The cars shown at 10:50 are NOT Dino 206es, they are Alfa Romeo TZ-2s.

@jefferyharmon5290 8 месяцев назад

I clicked on the video only because I wanted to see the TZ2s.

@gothicpagan.666 8 месяцев назад

Chaparral's didn't have an auto box, they were manually shifted with a torque converter, fluid flywheel

In 1966 I was standing at the fence and witnessed the Porsche hit a big fuel tank on the side of the warehouse. We also saw what caused the car to spin.

@lenslr 8 месяцев назад

What did you see that caused the car to spin, if I may ask?

@davidshepherd7750 6 месяцев назад

I'll have to watch it again to decide what I truly feel about your narrative style. Right now I'm on the fence between refreshingly cheeky and irritatingly self-conscious.

@boballen-l4j 6 месяцев назад

The cutaway shown at 6.56 is of a Ferrari 330P4 (from 1967), not a 1966 330P3.

The Beast? It's an early attempt at aerodynamic streamlining applied to a Cadillac body by the genius of Briggs Cunningham - the French called it Le Monstre because of its size. That photo is one I took at Le Mans Classic, it's actually replica built by one Mr. Derek Drinkwater
