In the early 1960s, Carroll Shelby set his sights on the most coveted prize in motorsport: Le Mans. The Europeans had long ruled the endurance stage, but the Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe was America’s bullet in the chamber—a car built to do the impossible. In 1964, the #5 Daytona roared to a GT class victory at Le Mans, proving Shelby’s vision right and cementing America’s place on the world stage.
“Carrollyn’s Charge” captures that spirit of triumph—the battle of night and fire, the blue Daytona carving its line against the fading light. She wasn’t just racing; she was carrying the weight of Shelby’s dream, breaking through the dominance of Europe and blazing a path for American motorsport glory.
