Did Ken Miles lose Le Mans?

In the controversial 1966 Le Mans race, Ken Miles did technically lose, but not because of his performance. Despite crossing the finish line first, he was declared second due to a rule that counted the total distance covered. Ford, in a bid to achieve a photo finish with their three cars, inadvertently cost Miles the win. It's a topic of heated debate even today in racing circles. Essentially, Miles was the fastest, but due to a technicality, he didn't take home the trophy.
