Did Ken Miles Lose Le Mans?

Ken Miles was a British race car driver who competed in the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans race. He was the leader of the race, and was set to win, but was controversially disqualified due to an apparent rule violation. The controversy surrounding his disqualification has been the topic of much debate for decades, with some believing that the race organizers deliberately disqualified him in order to give the win to the other team. The official ruling was that Miles had violated a rule by passing the finish line twice, but his supporters argued that the rule was not clear and he had not actually broken it. Despite being disqualified, Miles is still remembered and respected for his driving skill and determination. He was posthumously inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame in 2001. It is impossible to know for certain whether or not Ken Miles lost Le Mans. But regardless of the official ruling, he is remembered as one of the greatest drivers of all time.
