Or maybe 1 2 5 to give Ken Miles the credit he deserved!

CoupeKing · 13-06-2015, 07:59 AM

They should release another 3 cars with the numbers 67,68 and 69.

I hope it is as fast as it looks.

600+ horsepower and the engine has already won sportscar races in the US. It's not slow.

What is cheating about it?

And why shouldn't America be able to build a competitive endurance race car?

Last time....

Because they are unbearably bad sports and supporters.

FPV GTHO · 14-06-2015, 08:15 AM

Has nothing to do with racing against a Ferrari of course.

Yes this is a Ford Forum. No one makes you come here, feel free to leave and follow whatever brand you don't hate.

Official details from Ford:

Excerpt:

Quote:

The new race car – a further proof point of Ford innovation – is based on the all-new Ford GT supercar unveiled in January. Both the production car and race car will arrive in 2016 to mark the 50th anniversary of Ford GT race cars placing 1-2-3 at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans. Ford went on to repeat its victory at Le Mans in 1967, 1968 and 1969.
“When the GT40 competed at Le Mans in the 1960s, Henry Ford II sought to prove Ford could beat endurance racing’s most legendary manufacturers,” said Bill Ford, executive chairman, Ford Motor Company. “We are still extremely proud of having won this iconic race four times in a row, and that same spirit that drove the innovation behind the first Ford GT still drives us today.”
The new Ford GT race car will run the full 2016 schedules of the FIA World Endurance Championship and TUDOR United SportsCar Championship, making its competition debut in January 2016 in the Rolex 24 At Daytona, Florida. The two Ford teams will be operated by Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (CGRFS). Both series teams intend to compete with a four-car effort at Le Mans. Drivers will be announced later.
The all-new Ford GT serves as the pinnacle product of the new Ford Performance group, a division dedicated to providing innovation through performance.
Set to deliver more than 12 new performance vehicles by 2020, Ford Performance will leverage its racing efforts and expertise to speed innovations on dedicated performance models and performance parts in order to more quickly iterate the latest technologies that can ultimately be applied to the full Ford vehicle lineup.

What car company is in Aust ? GM, Toyota and Ford are the last of them..
I would say they would use Euro experience to do suspension etc?

FPV+fteT3 · 15-06-2015, 09:18 AM

Where will they source the pit crew for this?
They can't use ford techs because when something fails like the diff bush or gearbox they won't fix it because "they all do that" or "you have obviously raced this car"…..
