When I think of Paris I think “Fashion”. From this day forward, Paris and Chip Beck are synonymous with “Fashion”.

From Ford Performance:

Spread the word! Our annual Le Mans YouTube LiveStream, featuring in-car cameras in each car, interviews, live chat and more.... coming Saturday at 9 am ET in the US, and 3 pm CET. Link will be live at fordperformance.tv later this week....
 
Air France = “Air Chance”. They’ve lost my stuff twice on trips to France. They are good at finding you later on though, even out in the boonies.

Looks like your steering wheel is on the wrong side for France.
 
Gentlemen,

DBK made the scene here in Paris today and joined Peg & I for dinner at our hotel. Tomorrow morning we head to Le Mans. And........a short while ago our bags showed up. Even better.

What a pair to draw too! Have fun and bring home the gold in the form of 1-2-3-4-5! I do prefer the Ford GT look over the French look Chip! Glad you got your luggage! Look out for John Anhalt with Tint world in Ben Keating’s pits and tent. Ben has given him great tickets to the pits and his tent. He a great guy! Please send lots of pictures to the Forum for those of us unable to attend!
 
have fun guys!!!
 
Lunch in Ballon, then on to Le Mans!

GTs in P3, P8, P9, P13 after Qualifying 2. Keating up to P6 in his class. Final Qualifying session begins in 15 minutes.
 
Aston Martin 3:51 and change - fastest in the group in qualifying 3.

Nobody sandbagging over there at A-M lol , 2.5 seconds faster than all others.
 
A-M, class leading, down to 3:48 flat, its cooling down now.
 
P2, P6, P9, P10 for the GTs after qualifying
Keating P9
 
Chip,
You look great in your French « fringe « .
You look like Hemingway in the quartier latin!!
« American in Paris »!!!
« vivre L’Amérique «
« Allez Ford »!
 
Dirk did the last stint in the #68, in the closing moments of qualifying 3, took the car from 9th to 6th starting position! Nice!!
 
Garage walk on Friday.
