Good for them but I'm sick that the WEC tried to steal Risi Competizione's podium to give Ford a 1-2-3 over such tacky penalty (no leader lights). That said it sucks seeing Toyota lose Le Man in such a heartbreaking fashion. Also major props to the all-American squad in the Scuderia Corsa Ferrari for winning their class. It was a great race, I did about 16 hours of the race. Last year I only missed 4 hours

Always a fun watch, especially when you know someone driving. Have met Leh Keen (friend of a friend) a few times in the past year or two. Super nice guy can't believe they crashed out so early.

Toyota suffered the worst race lost I could imagine. They had porsche beat and to lose it just 2 minutes from finish line.....requires serious alcohol

I rather own a FORD GT anyday over a Ferrari. It has the street cred versus the poser cred of Ferrari.

I'm still laughing at the people who criticized Ford for the V6.

The original GT40 was the second most beautiful car ever made. (Miura was #1).Good job Ford.

And to that idiot poster...I'll take the GT over the Ferrari. The last Ford GT is one of the few mass produced cars that was worth more than it's purchase price almost immediately.

A Mr. XKE just phoned in from the "Most Beautiful Car in the World" Suite at the Ritz in Paris to request a song:

"(Don't You) Forget About Me".



To the OP: Congrats Ford

I'm guessing with the new GT?

ETA Yep! New Ferrari killer, just like the GT 40s.

Fox sports video. They broke down as the announcer was talking about their win with 4 minutes to go.

Haven't seen a jinx like that since Dan Borne told the fans not to rush the field after LSU recovered the fumble on the 5 yard line against Alabama in 2014.

Convertible E types are beautiful. But not even the best Jaguar. I submit the XK13.

Ford just couldn't be happy to secure a 1st & 3rd now they are protesting the fact WEC didn't enforce a BS penalty against Risi. Also Ferrari & Aston Martin have issued a protest against Ford. This year's 24 Hours is drama filled to say the least.

Problem for Ferrari was the rules say your marker has to be working and theirs wasn't. They were told to pit and fix it but they stayed out. Its not the way I would want to see a 1,2,3 sweep but thats how the cards went.

As much as a V-12 Ferrari is a bucket list car, id take the GT first.

Out of the box fast and dead nuts reliable.

Win a race and stop at Sonic for a corn dog on the way home.
