New Ford GT wins Laguna Seca
« on: May 02, 2016, 01:11:14 PM »
The new Ford GT won yesterday for the first time at Laguna Seca. I've been seeing various press releases on the internet trumpeting the win. Here's a link to the Roush Yates Engines website:

Always good news to see Ford winning and that should add some prestige and excitement to the new cars. For those that missed it here's a link to some previous discussion on ordering one.

I really hope this puts them in good shape for the big one, the 24 Hours of LeMans in June.  Would be fantastic for Ford to repeat their first LeMans win of 50 years ago!
