Yeh. That’s LMP1. If that’s what your after then that’s the class to watch. GTE has different regulations, BOP, one of them. The teams know this going in. If they don’t like it or agree to it they shouldn’t enter GTE. The Ford GT is really an LMP3 car, not quite LMP2, definitely not GTE. Unfortunately LMP3 does not…

Yeh. I guess they ok’d them not genuinely competing all season then magically finding +5 seconds the week of LeMan? I like racing, not exploiting rules and the good will of the teams within your class. Obviously if it was worth it to them and brand loyalists... but not worth it to racing fans. I would’ve rooted for…

Yeh. GTE class is my favorite class. Ford made it about them this year, not about racing. Woulda been nice to see anyone but them win. It’s sad how the class responded in good will to let them in the class and sad they responded by “crapping” on them. The “facts” are facts... you can look them up. I’m more a fan of…

Dude... The GT was designed from the ground up to win Lemans - fact. The other GTE cars are based on designs for mass production and daily use. The few they’ll sell for $400k+ are race cars modified to be road legal to be sold only to a select few. They will lose $ on these and only did this to get into GTE. The fact…

Facts are facts. Ford designed a race car from the ground up - fact. They have modified a few to sell as road cars at a loss of $ to be eligible for GTE... entering it into a class of cars based on road going cars designed for mass manufacturing and daily use - fact. The fact that Ford has sold absolutely zero of them…

It’s not a road car! It’s a race car from the ground up. They modified a few to sell as a road car at a loss of $ just to get into GTE. Of which they’ve sold absolutely zero to date which makes it ineligible. It’s only in the race because the other GTE Teams ok’d it out of good will. Ford then rewarded their good will…

Agree on Ford. Ferrari though has been 2+ seconds or so faster on outright pace most of the season.

Yeh. Vettes weren’t sandbagging all year. They also entered a car design based off of a mass produced platform for daily use and not a design based of off a race car that has zero sales to date and was only allowed to race because the likes of Corvette and the other teams ok’d it only to have Ford honor their spirit…

No hater hear. Facts are facts. The GT is not a GTE car. The fact that Ford has also sold absolutely zero of them also means under the rules it wouldn’t be in the race except by the good graces of the other GET teams ok’ing it. What I’m sure the other teams didn’t agree too was Ford sandbagging all seasnon which is…

Huh? Not even close.

My guess is... bought in Jersey and you now drive it in the proper traffic lanes. Ever body knows that cars from Jersey on work in the left lane. Regardless of how fast you’re going. C’Mon man. That car sees the right lane... it’s breakin’ down.

I blame Stephen Curry himself... a man’s gotta keep his women in LINE... LOL.

Agreed! Preach it brother. The Ford GT does not belong in GTE!

Agreed. Get that frickin Ford GT out of the GTE Class, it doesn’t belong. It should be an LMP2 But I belive that’s not a class anymore...

Yeh. If you want ingenuity go to lmp2, which doesn’t exist anymore... that’s where the Ford GT belongs - Not in a class with GTE cars. They have classes for a reason. I still anticipate the GT will still be plenty faster than the rest... it was designed from the ground up, with very little constraints, for the purpose…

Oddly the 488 GTB is mid engine... it looks nothing like a Daytona Prototype. It still has a shape based on constraints from mass production and daily use not strictly an aero shape for racing purposes. You should read about how they make the body panels for the GT, even the road version, and how the shape led to…

Good article. You should find what you need here - straight from a Ford Q&A:

Now Chevy...
