Videos of restored Le Mans Winner GT 40 #1046

The iconic 1966 Le Mans-winning P/1046 GT40 shared by Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon made its highly anticipated "return to the track" at Lime Rock Park following a meticulous 20-month restoration performed by East Kingston, New Hampshire-based Rare Drive, Inc.

Restoration of the car took almost 4,000 man-hours since December 2014, with as many as seven professional restorers working on the racecar daily. Restoration required fabrication of parts that no are longer manufactured, such as the windshield and the entire exhaust, which, in keeping with its original development, is unevenly spaced at the rear of the car.
Enjoy RK Motors Charlotte's "Legend of Le Mans," which features RK Motors founder and president Rob Kaufman taking the car through Lime Rock's twists and turns in a ride that simulates the elevation changes of Le Mans.
