not really unexpected, but still a bit sad.

Susanne and ne really enjoyed the 2016 experience, a once of a lifetime. Thanks to everyone at Ford and @DBK to make that possible.

Hope we do not need to wait another 50 years for the next real racing Series with Ford.

2016 Le Mans was unforgettable for me as well

Sad to hear the confirmed news, but so thrilled with the 2016-19 return to LeMans. Really cool period to experience.

We’ve been to the last three, and will be there this year. First in 16, second in 17, third in 18 - hope this isn’t a pattern for 19!

Saw that this morning as well. The article says it also applies to the privately campaigned cars. I assume they must be getting support from somewhere, like CGR.
