No Speed Channel in Iceland. I can't wait to get back.

 

Thanks, almost forgot!

I have not seen this episode.

 

Wonderful program!

Did not know that the FIA outlawed the GT40 in 1970, after they changed the engine capacity to 5.0 liters to curtail Ford's winning streak in '66 & '67. The Mark IV is truly one of the most beautiful race cars in history.

I hope somebody in FMC is silently pushing for a new Ford GT Le Mans/ALMS program. IMO it would be a shame to bring the car "back" without some from of racing program.

 

That was a great show to watch

 

The new GT could easily dominate the GT-S class, but would it be put in a different class due to being supercharged?

 

From what I know IF they did race the new GT in ALMS/Le Mans Ford would have to put a N/A motor in her. Which would be OK, since Mr. Robert Yates/Ford has a 5.0 Mod motor that has been race proven (used usely) in the Grand-Am Series Prototype class.

Time will tell.

 

The Yates engine would be an excellent powerplant for the GT. Though considering GM uses a 7-L V8 for the C5-R 'Vette a Yates V10 or similarly large V8 would also be welcome.
