What amazing photos. Love the history.
 
Love the flag from Mose.
 
Absolutely loved being there to watch history repeat itself! Go Ford! Thanks for allowing us such a over the top experience at Le Mans this year!
 
Here are some pix from the event yesterday that were sent to me. Note the flag. We got to hear the story about this from Mose Nowland at R10. This flag was "stolen" just after the victory in 66. It was given to the teams to take back to France for good luck. It was on display yesterday now framed for permanent display. There are pictured here, if I recall, of the presentation of the flag to the team this past spring. Hopefully it goes to the Henry Ford so we can see it some day, with the 68 car, when it is retired (I'm speculating that this will be the cars long term home).

Note car is wearing the 66, as it has raced now twice since LeMans, here (WGI, Mosport).

The flag has been returned to Mose.

Very cool pictures. I'm very happy for everyone at Ford and their partners in victory.
 
Wow!

What a fantastic and well deserved celebration. Those smiles tell it all.

Well done Ford, Ganassi, Multimatic, et al.

Fantastic. Such a great story! Do you happen to know who was the costodian of the flag on the trip? And where was it during the race?


The flag has been returned to Mose.

Actually, I didn't but when I catch up with him, I'll be happy to inquire.

I am familiar with the story behind the original acquisition, and I was very surprised that he loaned it out, as it has tremendous personal significance to him. It speaks volumes about him personally and his relationship with Ford Motor Company. You'll never meet a more modest and loyal man.
 

That is so cool!
 
DBK will that watch be for sale through Ford Merchandise?

It was hand carried over to Le Mans by Ford Performance's PR rep (who also happens to be my fiancee).

Hey you're the guy with the 2007, er, I mean 2008 Mustang from the other night! You/your fiancée certainly get around! ;-))

That model is between like $15k-57k depending on which version, so I'm gonna guess probably not.
