Ken Miles was a British race car driver who was born in England in 1918, and who died tragically in 1966 at the age of 47. He was a very successful driver, who won many races, including the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1966. Unfortunately, he never won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in his lifetime, despite having come close in 1966. He came just shy of victory, finishing in second place, with his co-driver, Denny Hulme. Sadly, Miles died shortly after, and did not get to enjoy the recognition of his incredible race.
