The last Ferrari to win Le Mans roars to life at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and Andretti Autosport IndyCar driver Romain Grosjean gets behind the wheel! The 1965 Ferrari 250 LM is kept beneath the IMS Museum as part of The Basement Collection. While its history is well documented through various outlets including the Hollywood blockbuster Ford vs. Ferrari, it still lives and breathes.

Would have been cool to see him open it up a little bit. Funny how Grosjean finds it remarkable how flimsy this badass endurance racer is, compared to what he's used to. I think the guys who drove cars like this flat-out, especially in the deadly '60s and '70s when brakes and tires and all hadn't caught up with horsepower and safety was for wimps, had a much different personal relationship with risk and overcoming fear, because they had all seen plenty of friends and competitors killed as a normal part of the sport. Literally witnessed with their own eyes - friends burned to death, crushed, impaled, beheaded, you name it. Had to believe deep down that it probably wouldn't happen to them, but then when somebody really gifted like Jimmy Clark would get killed, they all knew it could happen to them at any time. Same with Lauda (almost) and Senna and lots of other guys. Phil Hill was nearly incapacitated by fear. James Hunt threw up before every race. All of these guys were World Champions. Mike Hawthorne died in his Jaguar speeding on a public road just days after becoming World Champion, so it was the same sense of empowerment that got him in a different way. Read the autobiographies of any of the F1 drivers prior to around Y2K; Jackie Stewart goes into it pretty well in his book.

65 Ferrari? You gotta have balls to drive a car built by Enzo ‘the Assassin’ Ferrari. Fast and agile death traps. They look cool too, like the cigarette version of auto racing.

@plantfeeder6677 2 ай бұрын

You've got your car builders ass backward. Enzo didn't build unsafe cars, he pitted his drivers against each other forcing them to take chances they otherwise would never take to stay with the team. It was Colin Chapman of Lotus that built the car so light his theory was the car should only last long enough to finish. Many didn't make it before something broke.

Absolutely he could compete, cornering forces these days are now double of what they were back then. A race car driver is a race car driver, they will race their mother to the grocery store, the mindset is timeless.

@@F-Man The much hotter conditions produced by the closed cockpit of a sports car likely contributed. A big challenge of the new aeroscreen was temperatures in the cockpit, and even then they don't get as hot as NASCARs; it's all about what a driver is acclimated to, give any of these guys a few years to get used to it and they'd be easily up to speed

I find it amazing though, that Ford, the biggest company in the World needed three attempts to beat a small team From Italy. In my opinion, Ferrari made history!
