As many of you heard by now, I had the honor of receiving the Best in Class of the Supercar Category at the Quail this year. Within the class were many great cars including Lambos, Ferraris, AMG's and some one off special vehicles. The FordGT took the prize beating them all including a Senna and an Enzo. The FordGT is really special and that was clearly recognized at the Quail gathering!

Winning the award was only one of the highlights of the week, having the opportunity to meet and spend time with several members of the FordGT Forum community was the other. I met many of you and had great time spending time with you including, Maxemus who pulled me over! FrankTT, PASHA, Bye Enzo, 07XL0027, LoveCHP and John Gourley.

It was a great week with Great people and Great Cars!

I really enjoyed seeing your GT take the prize at the Quail Fred and meeting you and your son Michael. I kept running into Michael at every event. Thanks for bringing your GT and representing Ford.

What a car, Ford hit it out of the park with the GT, Congratulations!
Curious what you are using for a front license plate holder and what is it holding? Doesn't look like a regular plate.

Its a Placard that identifies the car as being in the Quail Rally. All the cars in the rally had them. The rally was Tues and Wed and ends with the cars in the Rally on display at the Jet Center on Wednesday evening. I removed it after the rally.

Congratulations! Beautiful car. We were in Monterey last week but Gabrielle was under the weather, and so we kept things low key,.

I’m sorry we missed seeing you and your best of show winner. We still had fun and enjoyed running into other Forum members.

Congrats and well done!

I also enjoyed seeing your 2018 Heritage and Ajai’s 2018 Heritage at multiple “car week” events. The GT did very well no matter where it was shown.
