1968 Ferrari 250LM Piper / Attwood

Due to the political and social unrest in France in May 1968, the 36th Le Mans 24 Hours was postponed until 28-29 September. So, for the only time in the history of the race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans was held in September rather than June.

Ferrari works team boycotted Le Mans, but there were several Ferari run by private teams – he North American Racing Team (NART), Scuderia Filipinetti, and two British privateer cars. The best Ferrari finisher was Ferrari 250LM driven by David Piper and Richard  Attwood. They finished 7th in green car #21 entered by Piper.
