Richard Attwood won Le Mans in a Porsche 917K and raced a Lotus 49 in F1 - but picks neither as his favourite car. Here's a look at the forgotten Ford F3L that Attwood chose ⬇️
“I loved the cars that gave you an advantage. Unfortunately, whenever I had one of those something seemed to go wrong and we didn’t win anyway!”
World sportscar championship regulations were changed for 1968, instigating a three-litre limit for sports-prototypes. The Ford P68, or F3L as it was better known, was a svelte car designed by Len Bailey and built and run by Alan Mann Racing. “It had speed but reliability was poor,” confirms Attwood, who doesn’t believe the famous DFV vibrations were the cause of the issues as they were in other sportscars. “I raced it twice, at the Nurburgring [with Frank Gardner] where it was completely unsuited but we still qualified fifth, and the Oulton Park TT.”
