I have the privilege of assisting a group of experts with a Ford GT40 / GT Symposium on June 16th in Calgary. It will be hosted by Fred Philips (a well known local car collector) with keynote speaker John Sadler, three GT Forum members including myself plus other local enthusiasts. The Symposium will include the history of the GT 40 / GT at Lemans and the development of the past and modern cars. We will have several interesting cars including MK I, MK ll GT40's an 05 / 06 GT and bright green NFGT. We will also be driving these cars with passengers after the event.
Our goal is to educate and entertain 300 attendees while raising money for a local charity the 'Alberta Adolescent Recovery Center'.
It is my co-responsibility to help inform the group about the FGT and NFGT using a slide deck and interesting facts about these cars. As an 06 GT owner and passionate fan of these cars, I am reasonably knowledable on modern GT's but I would love to get a little more help. Anyone of us on this forum could rattle off infinite information and stories about our cars but we only have 25 mins to inform the attendees on the FGT and NFGT. My question is, what is the most interesting and ideal information to share? If you were talking about these cars, what would you share? Other than this forum, where is the best place to draw factual information about FGT's and NFGT's?
Thank you in advance for any input. I will share photos of the event after June 16th.
Dave.
