In their class, LMGTE Pro, the two US Ford GT teams qualified 1st and 2nd. The two European teams qualified 4th and 5th. The GT teams are all run by Chip Gnassi Racing who also runs NASCAR and Indycar teams.

The race is this weekend and will be televised in its entirety switching between Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports 2.

It’s so cool having another Ford GT at Le Mans. I am old enough to remember the first GT40 in the sixties, still one of the most beautiful cars in it’s class.

I am a big fan of the V6 Ecoboost engine. I have it in a Lincoln MKT. I humiliate BMW’s, Lexi and Volvos all the time with it and it is in a much bigger car than those other brands.

Fantastic at elevation and great fuel economy as well.
