That track is treacherous for Ganassi GT’s and Forum member GT’s as well.

Ride along with Tincknell at the end. I love how raw this car is.

Gentlemen,

That is the exact same spot on that track where Ford GT #66 was destroyed two years ago. There are a lot of places to lose it on that track but #67 impacted that tire wall within a few feet of where it's sister car hit 24 months ago. Weird. During our two laps there in the rain in 2016 I was looking for that spot but it all looks so different when you're on the ground that I wasn't sure where it was. The elevation changes at Spa are as dramatic as they are at Laguna Seca and that doesn't show up on TV at all. I do remember thinking "This would NOT be a good track for a GT Rally!" Glad the drivers walked away both times.

Hey, that was not a training bra, but rather the special bullet proof version. :eek
Got to get support wherever you can. :lol

Probably the only six US GT owners who have driven that track in their GT. Every time someone posts up a picture from that lap around Europe it brings back a flood of great memories. Even the Charlie Fox moments and misfortunes remember well.
