Congrats to us all. Could there really be any other website that could accomplish this. A tribute to all parties involved especially DBK, our moderators Chip and Shelby#18, and Daniel. Way to go.

All of us at Matech are simply stunned ! What an incredible feat you have achieved. We have been following this since Chip and David mentioned this, and we had a feeling some of you would be interested...but this response just overwhelms us.
We have been discussing what would be an appropriate way to say thank you to all those who have contributed, and I will feed back through Chip and Dave for this....apart from just one little idea that I will tell you about now.... the steering wheel that is used in the Matech Ford GT1 car at Le Mans 24 hours will be auctioned after the race. We are working out a few details around this, but this is our intention to auction certain items what will become Le Mans history. Other items will be given to the Ford GT forum to do with as you wish (perhaps give bits and pieces to those who are unable to attend). Anyway, that is up to you.
I have some photographs from the launch event in Paris last Monday, showing a very bright car. I shall send them to Chip and Dave, and maybe they would be kind enough to load them on the forum on our behalf.
In the meantime, some further news and announcements will be made public in due course.
We are testing this weekend, back again to Paul Ricard in the south of France as part of the Le Mans Series tests. Natacha Gachnang and Cyndie Allemann are confirmed for the Le Mans 24 hours. We are also testing Rahel Frey, another Swiss female driver to complete the 3rd slot in the Le Mans driver line up. Also testing the car will be factory driver Thomas Mutsch and ex Formula 1 driver Enrique Bernoldi who has signed to drive for Matech for the 2010 World Championship season.
Exciting times - that's an understatement.
Once again, our huge thanks and deepest gratitude for the support you show to our team and car.

Can you imagine the Rally Auction on parts as they stripped it down???
Would be crazy bidding HAHAHA
Will Camilo do a commemorative painting of the Matech car at LeMans?? (just wondering if I should get my check book ready for the next rally :willy )

Already got that one worked out. Come on man, give me a little credit :biggrin
Ok, I'll start making a list of what everyone is getting. :biggrin
*disclaimer* this is a joke, you do not get large parts of a 600,000 euro race car for $500.

Unfortunately, some body panels and parts would never be for sale as they are highly sensitive in terms of aerodynamics.
- other parts such as the wooden plank underneath would be available, and the whole team would be more than happy to sign any parts auctioned etc.
- if the brake pads and disks are changed during the race, they will be auctioned to you - carbon brakes (huge) and carbon pads.
- if any parts become damaged and replaced, they should hopefully be made available.
As soon as I have more news, you will be the first to hear it.

PS the cost of the car is Euros not $$$

Just to gauge interest....would you be interested in owning the steering wheel from the Le Mans car? There is a minimum reserve price of course, as we would naturally have to replace the wheel for the next race with another.

Trust me, you don't really need to ask that question. You get a bunch of GT owners in a room with a few drinks and we end up buying stuff of little or no utility for amounts that make no sense. :lol I would DEFINITELY want that wheel.
