The footage was provided to Ford in 2015. I'm not sure if this was posted on the Forum previously, but here you go....

Thanks Paul,

very cool.

Glad you enjoyed it. Knowing the history of the GT40 program makes owning any of the new versions very special. It's hard to imagine now, but beating Ferrari at Le Mans for the first time was like creating an NFL team from scratch and beating the Packers in the 1960s.

The victory then seems so much more personal now after being there with Ford this year.

Thank you for posting. I watched twenty more videos last night regarding the race and the men driving the cars. Fascinating times.
