I own a construction company and have ALL Fords, I am hoping some loyalty pays off. I also own a highly modified Ford Raptor that I have nearly $250K in. Everything I own is used for what it is built for. I've owned my GT3 for a month and it's been to three track days so far. I would absolutely drive the car. Since I am the eternal optimist, I am hopeful that my humble approach to Ford will bear some fruit. Hopefully they give a working class guy like me an opportunity to own such an incredible car. I only own about 20 Fords in my fleet, but I've only been in business 11 years, so I am crossing my fingers. Good luck to anyone who has applied, will certainly be a dream come true!

2013 Ford Raptor, 4 Link suspension with about 34" of travel in the rear. 18" travel in front (Limited by Four Wheel Drive), Full Cage, 6.2 L with 2.9 Whipple Supercharger (700HP) and Stainless works headers and exhaust. 39" tires with bead locks, plenty of lights, and will wake the dead when going full out. Full floating rear end and upgraded brakes as well. Nothing stock on the truck anymore except for the stereo and ac. Lots of fun to drive in the dirt and will do about 130 bouncing through the deserts of Baja. A kick in the pants. Although it is a 2013 it will have shortly a highly exaggerated 2017 fiberglass body kit. It's black of course!

Pole does not make for a living legend. They have to finish first.

It's all over and the Ford GT's showed themselves quite well. Positions 1,3,4. Even after Friday's BOP adjustment it wasn't even close, they were the fastest cars in class, aside from Fisi's 488 which is currently under protest. If it's upheld it's a podium sweep. The car is beautiful and being designed to the current regs it's going to be fast for years. Aside from Ferrari, Aston in Porsche are in old machinery and it showed. The new RSR had better be good.

If 488 is disqualified, a GT podium sweep repeat of 50 years ago would be epic. But even then, is the new GT with a V6 EcoBoost be worth $400K+? I personally don't think so, and by a long shot. But we'll see, I guess.

My understanding was the Porsche factory cars led early and dropped back and then out. They dnf'd early. Unacceptable or should be for a company like PAG. seems like the factory made a half hearted effort with only two cars in gte. Ford was all in with 4 cars & all 100% effort and focus. kudos to them.
RSR podiumed in gte am. With fair bop and some real effort, and at least two more cars I would suspect there would be a better result for pag in pro gte. Seems like all their effort and $ was in lmp and gte was a throw away.
No question TT is the future though.

Carbon tub, turbo 3.5 vs 3.8, latest twin clutch gearboxes, active aero, etc.

As for lack of effort or focus; Porsche is the only OEM racing in both LMP and GTE.

I watched Ford's #68 live-stream for a couple hours. Muller was a beast early Sunday morning. He kept reeling in the Risi car, despite that drive-through penalty.
