The GT40 was a huge event in my mind as a young automotive enthusiast. Consequently, Roy Lunn became a sort of hero, as I really admired the designers and builders (with some exceptions) much more than the race drivers. So, I was saddened to learn he has passed away. Here is a link to a very nice article about him for others who know of him and admired him too:

If you have Amazon Prime, check out the video "The 24 Hour War". It's a very well-done documentary on the Ford/Ferrari battles at Le Mans.
