The story behind Ferrari’s last win at Le Mans
VINWiki brings up another cool car story. After their piece on the Whittington brother’s win in 1979 (as told by John Ficarra), I’m always stopping by their YouTube channel. This time John tells the tale about the 1965 Le Mans race. I’ve read about this story before, but he provides a LOT more detail on the whys and hows. Trust me, if you’re a Le Mans nut it will be a very well spent 20 minutes.
The bad part is that I don’t have the 1965 250 LM #21 in the W-143 Garage.
And now I need it.
Bad…

Minichamps × CMR: an upgrade?
I had the CMR version of the Hippie Porsche, and specially after getting the missing Martini decals, I was happy with it. Well, the decal job was NOT stellar, but I was happy with the model. Last month I came upon the Minichamps version of the car, and a Minichamps is always better than a CMR… Right?
Well, about that… Take a look HERE.
