This Time Tomorrow & Target 200 DVD - Description
This atmospheric film traces the fascinating story of the awesome Ford GT40
and its domination of the world's greatest endurance race.
In 1966 the American car giant was determined to beat the best Europe had to
offer at the Le Mans 24 Hour race.
Three teams equipped with eight Mark II GT40s travelled to France with
victory at the Circuit de la Sarthe the only goal.
Ford boasted an incredible driver line-up featuring some of the greatest
names in motorsport - including Bruce McLaren, Graham Hill, Mario Andretti, Dan
Gurney, Chris Amon, Ken Miles and more. Amazingly, the seven-litre V8 GT40 would
not only take victory, but would dominate the race to fill the top three
positions, leaving Porsche and Ferrari in the shade.
This wonderful film captures the drama and magic of this classic race, with
comments from the drivers and trackside commentary creating a unique and
atmospheric record of Ford's important victory.
This DVD also features Target 200, an extraordinary film from the Ford
archives. It traces the development of the iconic GT40 from conception to
racetrack, with rare footage of Roy Lunn and John Wyer discussing plans for the
car and the building of the first prototypes.
Target 200 also features exceptional film of the GT40 - in the hands of Bruce
McLaren - in race action at famous circuits like the Nurburgring and undergoing
high-speed testing at Goodwood.
