Motorsport History
Why did Ken Miles place second at Le Mans?
Well, buckle up folks, we're about to dive into some racing history! Our man Ken Miles, a legendary British racer, unfortunately, only snagged the silver in the 1966 Le Mans - a bit of a head-scratcher, right? Here's the juicy part: the Ford Motors team decided to get a bit artsy and aimed for a photo finish with their three leading cars, fancy huh? But, Ken, being the true sportsman he was, slowed down to match the pace of his teammates. Ironically, this made him second because the car that started behind had technically covered a greater distance! Ain't that a hoot?
