Hello again Racing Ears,
In this episode, Rick Knoop was kind enough to let me chat with his friend Peter Miles. Peter Miles is the son of Ken Miles, who was heavily involved as a test driver, mechanic, and racing driver in the development of the Ford GT40 back in the mid 1960's. The Ford GT40 won the 1966 Le Mans 24 Hours, beating Ferrari for the first time.
Ken Miles won the 1966 24 Hours of Daytona, the 1966 12 Hours of Sebring, and was famously denied the win at the 1966 Le Mans 24 Hours by a technicality.
The 2019 motion picture "Ford v Ferrari" starring Matt Damon and Christian Bale depicted the story of the friendship between Carroll Shelby and Ken Miles.
It was truly an honor to be able to speak with Rick Knoop and Peter Miles.
Thanks to Mark Siegel for letting me record his 1966 Ford GT40 Mark II at Thunder Hill Raceway way back in July of 2016.
Thank you for listening to The Racing Ear Podcast.
