I a ia e taraiwa ana i tētahi Kōwae Junior Cooper, ka wikitoria ia i tana whakataetae tuatahi. Whai muri i te angitu i nga motuka Cooper, whai muri i te aromatawai whaiaro maamaa kaore ia i kaha ki te taraiwa i nga motuka whakataetae i nga taumata teitei, ka hoki ia ki te United States ka tiimata te mahi me Carroll Shelby me te Ford Motor Company mo te GT40 Le Mans kaupapa. I mātakitaki a Smith i te whakarite i ngā motokā i toa i te 1966
