We remember Chris Amon, who has passed away, at age 73. Amon not only was a Formula 1 driver, but, 50 years ago, in 1966, he famously, along with co-driver Bruce McLaren, gave Ford their first overall win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans at the wheel of the now legendary Ford GT40, the car that has heavily influenced the new Ford GT supercar seen racing in the IMSA WeatherTech championship, and the FIA World Endurance Championship.
Rest In Peace, Chris Amon.
