Gierkink also has some incredible images of his GT in the Alps. It would be a pleasure to see the country of Switzerland in a GT!

Report from the Klausenrace

Hi

we had an outstanding day at the Klausenrennen.

Here are some fotos and we will post more.

Thanks to all the 16 Ford GT customers who made this event possible. Saturday afternoon, in front of about 50'000 car enthusiasts, the Ford GTs were presented in a corso (very fast and dramatic) between race cars from the 20s to the 30s.

Greetings

Chris
