There is no way we can ever repay you for your support of our forum & our members. I don't believe Ford would have won Le Mans in 2016 and I don't feel I would be getting a NGT in 2019 if it weren't for you Raj. If there is anything I can ever do to help you please let me know.

Raj

I had the opportunity to meet you at LeMans in 2016 for the 50 year event. You were obviously engaged with the race, and all it meant. Yet you were incredibly gracious when we were introduced. I was impressed with your class. I remain impressed.

The GT40 was my dream car as a kid. The GT remains my dream car..

Thank you!

Raj, as everyone else has said, thank you! And I doubt the new GT would have happened without you being the champion for it and exercising leadership to make it a success. Despite your soaring accomplishments (so far) you have always been approachable and courteous, even with dumb questions!

My own career has taken turns that I never could have foreseen, but the old adage holds, "when one door closes, another opens." Take some time off and choose the next path not for where you know it will lead, but instead choose the path that you don't know where it will lead. Make it another daring adventure.

I understand Tesla needs some competent leadership....

Dear Raj Nair.

Rightly, everyone congratulates you for your skill in general, and especially for everything you've brilliantly done around the new Ford GT.
I join in this unanimous thanks.

I want to add that for me, the most extraordinary is your warmth and your simplicity.
I met you in 2016, during the 24 Hours of Le Mans Race, in the stand of cars that were running on the track.
Despite the noise and despite my bad English, you took the time for a passionate conversation with me.
This confirms that the real great are very often the simplest. Thank you.

Best regards from France.

Raj,

I can't express enough the respect, admiration and appreciation Susan and I have for all you have done for FMC and in particular Ford Performance and the GT program. You always had time for us and that speaks to the integrity and kind of person you are. Your legacy is the 2005-2006 GT and the 2016 LeMans winning GT. Can't get any better in my opinion. Susan and I both consider you and your family our friends and we look forward to continuing and growing that friendship in the future. Looking forward to seeing you at a Forum event in the near future and I have no doubt that your next endeavor will impress us as much as this one has. Class act in every way. God Bless you and yours.

Your friend,

Vince and Susan Hott

Raj,

This is a major loss for Ford and the Ford GT Program... "you will be missed" is an understatement!

Raj, as I’ve told you before, you’ve personally inspired me to pursue dreams and challenges that I would never have thought possible. A man of your character and determination will, without a doubt, persevere and continue to do amazing things. I am proud and grateful to know you. I consider everyone on this forum family, and if there is anything we can do for you, please do not hesitate to let us know.

Raj, I can only repeat everything that has been said in all the previous posts. But what many members don't know, I discovered at Chart House in Daytona for the debut of the GT at the Rolex 3 races ago. Most don't know that you are also a pilot and signed a contract not to fly until your stent was over. You took some time to talk to me at the bar and we both found out we were pilots. It might have been the first time you talked more about planes than cars. Bottom line is there is a silver lining. Get back in the air fast. And if you are in the vicinity of Destin, Fl or Lafayette, LA...you will get that L-39 ride you wanted. You can be my wing man anytime....Blue skies --Mike--

Raj,
I remember working with you at B&A as if were yesterday. I only wish I had been involved with you on one of the greatest vehicle programs ever completed by the company. You have accomplished so much in such a short time you should be very proud. I am sure you will also be successful with any endeavor you choose in the future. I hope you take some time with your family now because as any Ford alumni knows, you did not have much time in the past.
