My friend and I spent the last half hour of the race up in the big oak tree on the outside of Big Bend, watching the Ferrari trying to chase down the Ford. One heck of a race.

This was my 1st year at the track and remember it being very hot and exciting. I've ben back many times since and enjoyed each one. What an American sports car race!

Ickx and Oliver won at Le Mans this year if im not mistaken

1969 was the last year for the Le Mans start,as well as for a Ford Victory at either Sebring or Le Mans.Porsche would win the World Sports Car Title this particular year.

It is a rare race where the Ferrari 312 P can be seen in action.
Marvellous, the sound of the 12 cylinders ...
Very good film including a good witness of the race history.

I was one of the camera crew for this film. We worked for Triangle Films, and the program was done for air the following weekend on ABC's Wide World of Sports. I covered the track from the bridge following the Esses through the hairpin. In those years of more lax safety, I could hand-hold my camera right at the apex of the hairpin and could just about reach out and touch the cars as the passed. My lens was no more than 3 feet from the cars at times. I look at it now and cringe!
