I'm such a dork... As per usual, I confused the Le Mans Endurance Series with the European FIA Endurance Series. As you've noticed, there are no Ford GT's in the LM Series. That said, there is good sports car racing, and no NASCAR stockers (altho' one NASCAR type event did run overtime during...

Hopefully this is not a repeat, as I've been away for some time. I noticed that the Speed Channel has the first Le Mans Endurance Series race from Monza starting on Monday, November 12th (Noon, Pacific Time). If like last year, they'll show one race of the series a week for the next few weeks...

kmillen Thanks! Great article. This gives a good account of the mods done to your car for last year's event. Looking forward to how you do this next October and wishing you well. Will you be in the right seat again? John

Kave If programing is similar to the last two years, Speed will have tape delays of all of the FIA GT3 races (after NASCAR is finally winding down for the year). They normally run the series in the fall. The GT will obviously make it a much more fun series to watch. If you're still looking...

If I read it right, it looks like the GT came in second in the first race, right after a 430. Looking forward to the second race. Thanks for the web address. John

Thanks Midnite Blu Let's hope for better reliability this time out. Go GT! John

They'll learn. By taking poll it is apparent that they have the speed. Now they just need to get to the end. I guess we'll get to see what happened on Speed in about three months...

Thanks Iceman. Well, the exterior looks similar to our street cars, while the interior looks like the modern race car that it really is. I like how it's got a DVD player for the kids who might ride along. :lol The GT will make watching the races more fun to watch this year, assuming that...

Darn! I missed the first post in Media Center, so now I'll have to watch the video a second time... :biggrin

conundrum Hey, since you're in Kentucky, are you allowed to like endurance racing? :biggrin Every year I look forward to the ALMS series, as well as the televise taped delays of the European FIA GT3 Championship. Nothing like sports cars! Glad to see that a Ford GT might be involved this...

...other than the three hour break to bring us up to speed on NASCAR, during some of the better parts of the Sebring race, I enjoyed the event. Great racing clear up to the last corner of the last lap. Can't ask for anything better than that. (For a minute there I was worried that we were...

Not sure when or if they'll be on again, but last year there was about a six month delay after the first race, and then it got closer to about a two month delay for the last race. The same kind of scheduling for the year before. Last year I loved watching the Astons and the MC12's (my...

FordGTGuy Thanks so much for passing along this information. When SpeedTV plays the tape delays from the FIA GT3 series this year, it'll be fun rooting for the GT. The comments from Christian Schumacher seem to mirror the comments that I've seen from others who are in the process of...

Yes, thank you. And your explanation of the event certainly explains the need for good brakes. I'm guessing you'll do much better next year with the experience of a race behind you. John
