Kad je 908 pobijedio na Le Mansu?

Ne u smislu da je pobijedio,nego da je na neki nacin natjerao Forda GT40 da ode u penziju
bout Le Mans '69 it can be said that nobody could take the triumph from Porsche’s hands, and nevertheless it happened.
The 3-litre 908´s, the 917´s, along with official and particular cars were sent, on June 14th, to what would be the most resonant triumph of their trajectory. Records fell, the domination was at will, but unexpectedly the fiasco began and three hours prior to the end of the race, the only remaining Porsche in the race, Herrmann-Larrousse´s 908 was involved in a meter-to-meter battle against the Ford GT40 of Ickx-Oliver. The almost 5-litre cars of Ford prevail over Porsche’s 3-litre engines and a few meters before the finish line, the incredible thing happened.
This result added to four other round wins for the GT40 gave Ford victory in the 1968 International Championship for Makes. The GT40's intended 3.0 L replacement, the Ford P68, proved a dismal failure. In 1969, facing more experienced prototypes and the new yet still unreliable 4.5 L flat-12 powered Porsche 917s, the winners Ickx/Oliver managed to beat the remaining 3.0 L Porsche 908 by just a few seconds with the already outdated GT40 (in the very car that had won in 1968). Apart from brake wear in the Porsche and the decision not to change pads so close to the race end, the winning combination was relaxed driving by both GT40 drivers and heroic efforts at the right time by (at that time Le Mans' rookie) Jacky Ickx, who won Le Mans five times more in later years. In 1970, the revised Porsche 917 dominated, and the GT40 had became obsolete. sup
Porsche 908 beat the "out-of-fate" GT40 in '69.
Ford participated in '69 with the car that won in '68.
