I am pleased to be able to bring you the opportunity to participate in the historic return of the Ford GT to Le Mans as a VIP guest of Ford Motor Company! Ford will be expanding their facility at raccordement, the final corner of the circuit, with the inclusion of a trackside suite dedicated exclusively to a very limited number of Ford GT owners.

You will have the opportunity to be hosted by Edsel B. Ford II at the race, with full VIP access Thursday thru Sunday including:


• Trackside qualifying and race viewing from the Ford Racing Centre
• Access to the Ford Pit Suite located above the garage during the race
• Ford GT parking within the circuit
• Pit Walk access
• Special Friday lunch hosted by Edsel Ford and Henry Ford III with private driver meet and greet
• Participation from Ford VIPs such as Chairman Bill Ford, CEO Mark Fields and Executive VPs Raj Nair and Jim Farley
• Circuit perimeter tours of different vantage points around the 8.4 mile circuit during the race
• Transport to the Le Mans center for the Friday driver’s parade and a special VIP dinner
• Guided tours of the Ford pit garages
• Fully inclusive first-class food & beverage within the Ford Racing Centre
• Access to the Le Mans Museum
• A full package of ways (wifi, television, radio) to stay up to date with the race while on-site
• End of race celebration
• Limited edition attendee-only gifts



The opportunity to celebrate the return of Ford GT to Le Mans with the Ford family, Ford Motor Company, VIPs from the race team, the drivers themselves, etc is a truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Please see the link below for details, and I hope you are able to join us as we celebrate the next chapter in the wonderful Ford GT history we're privileged to be a part of!

Great collateral material! I believe that this agenda/content level is exactly what Edsel had in mind back when he presented with Mose at Rally X. Sure glad that he dropped the task at your door and not mine! ;-))

Amazing opportunity - Nice work!

Amy and I will be there and would really like to bring the GT. Is there any more detail on how to do so plus insurance costs, etc..., or is everybody on their own on this front?

The cheque is in the mail!
Still hoping I/we can figure out a way of getting the car over, so hopefully we can upgrade the package if it works out?

Thanks Dave, this is pretty awesome. Also interested in any package to include bringing the GT: shipping, insurances, logistics?

Check is going out today and flights booked for Susan and myself. Now just looking for any advice regarding lodging and transportation of GT's over the pond.

I'm signed up & paid! I haven't found any insurance fees that are not reasonable for driving our personal GTs in Europe. Unless someone tells me otherwise I am resigned to the fact that I won't be bringing my GT.

Maybe we could take turns driving St Ho's GT! LOL - I'd like to do a burnout in it on the Champs-Elysees!

I already asked!!! We're both in line behind Mrs St Ho!

But he has started a list so maybe there's hope we could catch rides with some of our European buddies.

(Paid up and flights booked. Waiting on hotel details but that search has started.)
