No one saw this “carp storm” coming? Good job Ford! It’s all about you and generating PR on your anniversary. The beck with rules, racing, LeMans, the GTE class, and those who have worked their a as off for years with legitimate GTE cars / programs that didn’t get in based on the good will of of others then sandbag…

Penalised enough to loose - oddly it’ll be tough to understand the performance advantage they had with broken wheel speed sensors. Good thing they held up Ferrari’s penalty for not fixing lights...

How do you define GTE homologation? If you look up the rules the Ford GT does not make the GTE class - fact.

For GTE... Homologation specials based on cars designed for mass manufacturing and daily use - yes. And, you also have to sell a specified number of them prior to the race(s) to be eligible. Ford GT sales to date absolutely zero - fact. Even selling them to a select few at a loss of $ has been delayed... because it’s…

Yeh. Ferrari has been faster on outright pace all season. What made BOP difficult was Ford’s magical pace days before the race. Trying to understand how much to BOP Ford and Ferrari and running the risk of making Ferrari not competitive with Ford or Ford not competitive with Ferrari, otherwise they would have been…

It (BOP) does have a place if it’s defined prior to you joining. If Ford didn’t, or any other Team for that matter, doesn’t like it then don’t join the class - period. If you know going in then it’s your obligation to respect the rules and the other Teams who have agreed to the terms to compete honestly. Those who say…

Yeh. I have no idea about Engineering and Mechanical stress / fatigue and or racing. Seriously? And btw, I gave credit where credit was due. Ford built a car from the ground up to win LeMans. As part of this strategy they modified a few to be road legal to sell to a select few at a loss of $ to enter the GTE class and…

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!
