I would love to have my car in that photo booth. Shooting in that kind of space is very different.

I agree. Where's the order form?

And yeah, I guess for half a mill, there should be room in the transaction for a "free" drivers suit included. ;-))

 

[dbk]

Have you seen how expensive those suits are?!? Program killer!

 

[Cobrar]

Yes, I know they aren't inexpensive.

But hey, we do this once every 50 years or so. I'm sure the Ford boys can reach down a bit and free up some of the proceeds.

 

[Specracer]

About $2k before embroidery.

 

[Cobrar]

About $2k before embroidery.

Group buy. Lol.

If Ford "gave" a 2 layer suit to every buyer of the car, they might leverage down their actual Team expense to a pretty low number Hmmm.

Time to announce some drivers:

George Howard-Chappell, Larry Holt, Dave Pericak, Chip Ganassi

And your four full-season FIA WEC Ford GT drivers are (to the surprise of nobody) Andy Priaulx, Stefan Mücke, Olivier Pla and Marino Franchitti.

Priaulx was a long-time BMW wheel man that raced across many series.

Mücke has raced in a number of series but was last seen running in Aston Martin GTE-Pro, making him an obvious choice because of GHC's deep Aston Martin ties. Ironically, in 2011 Mücke nuked Richard Westbrook at Silverstone during the FIA GT1 World Championship race. He is....aggressive. Now they will both be driving Ford GTs at Le Mans.

Olivier Pla was a member of the recently deceased Nissan LMP1 program. Pla is a Le Mans veteran having made 8 LM starts in LMP1 and LMP2.

Franchitti is another LMP2 vet, and was part of the winning 12 Hours of Sebring squad in the Ford EcoBoost Riley DP in 2014. He's also the brother of Dario.

Two Brits, a Frenchman, and a German. :cheers
