The 1966 12 Hours of Sebring Race Report: Triumph & Tragedy

[@follow_freeman]

Thank you so much for this presentation. Wonderful job, I appreciate how much source material you gathered for this!

[@Prestostark]

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

[@laszlo7444]

Thank you so much for the great Videos! I‘m three hours into your content and I can’t get enough. Please keep the race reports coming, the views will go up eventually!

[@DennisMurphey]

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.

[@andyharman3022]

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.

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

[@delahayenator]

Oh just commented the same

[@jefferyharmon5290]

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

[@dusankocisevic6823]

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

[@shoominati23]

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.

[@lenslr]

You are correct. Quite the talented chap

[@964cuplove]

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

[@lenslr]

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

[@paulreilly3904]

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

[@lenslr]

Much appreciated!

[@paulreilly3904]

@@lenslr I shall subscribe. 👍

[@paulbrum6690]

Brilliantly put together, narrated and loved the sarcasm 😊👍what a fantastic video

[@delahayenator]

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

[@normangarland6558]

Fantastic commentary!!

[@mikeyerke3920]

Great presentation! Thank you! 🏁

[@LOstere]

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

[@lenslr]

Thanks!

[@derfpoloderf]

Great video. You put a lot work into this..... very enjoyable.

[@lenslr]

Thank you!

[@dony4368]

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]

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]

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

[@paulross9287]

Let's hope you get WAY more subs, you deserve them!

[@slotcarpalace]

Just discovered your channel and was very pleased and impressed. Also greatly enjoyed your facility with the English language.

[@lenslr]

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

[@slotcarpalace]

I'll buy that, I am sure this is much more interesting. @@lenslr

[@lenslr]

@@slotcarpalace penalties for getting one's information wrong are a lot lower. Hahah

[@thomasbell6655]

Excellent stuff well done 😊

[@getplaning]

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

[@jefferyharmon5290]

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

[@mokeisfun]

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]

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

[@joneldridge5513]

Thank you for such a relaxed delivery to the race details..loved it!👌🏼

[@lenslr]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@gothicpagan.666]

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

[@Pidds28]

Great video, much appreciated

[@MangoBS]

I am so glad KZbin 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.

[@lenslr]

Thanks! It's a slow build but all good things to those who wait, I suppose

[@davidshepherd7750]

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]

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

[@paulreilly3904]

And an interview with Bob Holbert, who I presume is the father of the excellent Al.?

[@lenslr]

That's correct

[@barbaraannen3340]

@30:23 Mario Andretti "thinks" he hit a sand bank. @31:30 shows damage to his car,

[@bigbow62]

I love Sebring.... drove it many times, always in video game form 😉 Can someone please tell me what kind of "car" is this @-> 10:41 ? Thank you for the amazing video... very well done 🙂👍

[@lenslr]

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

[@Michael_Lorenson]

Excellent, thanks

[@dusankocisevic6823]

Stewart/Hill, what a crew🙄🙄🙄

[@henrychubbs2823]

Lloyd Ruby, not Jack Ruby at the 14:25 mark. Jack Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald.

[@lenslr]

If you bothered to read the comments you would have seen that particular slip-up on my part had already been widely noted.

[@pi.actual]

In regards to safety, I went to Le Mans in 2017 and you couldn't get yourself killed there as a spectator if you earnestly tried.

[@huwzebediahthomas9193]

Carol Shelby - legend. 👍😎 34:15

[@stephenscholes4758]

Just a tuner...never produced a single engine

[@AlfonsoPreciadoGonzalez-bv1xl]

These race cars in toys aré vry funy on my race track hotwheels by Mattel nice Vidio boys 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊😊

[@jefferyharmon5290]

How do you do THIS MUCH RESEARCH and get the TZ2s wrong? Holy smokes man! Do better!

[@lenslr]

Because, like all other befleshed human beings, I am prone to mistakes. So glad you enjoyed it. ~stay kind~

Speak up I can,t hear you
