My Ford GT Mk II arrived about 4 weeks ago. Serial number 11 (the Spinal Tap reference ) tenth car built by Multimatic. I went with White Water Pearl and matte CF. Pretty straight forward spec that would allow for potential vinyl wraps at a later date. The car looks stunning in it‘s simplicity and I’m happy leaving it as is. Stormcat and Bony (RIP) would be proud. The car got delivered directly to my house by Reliable. Pretty low key.
The car fits in my FGT spec JimGlo trailer...tightly. The ramps had to be modified with long Race Ramps to prevent the diffuser and front splitter from rubbing. The car is permanently slammed in “race mode”. The approach angle had to be minimized by lifting the tongue of the trailer and using long boards. We’ve got the technique down.
I got the car out to my local road course, Motorsport Ranch, last Friday. Did three sessions building pace gradually. I had some friends drive out my 2005 and 2018 FGT‘s for a photo shoot. Here’s a quick iPhone movie I put together.
We took some fun photos in the paddock. Two of my friends are professional photographers and they came out to document the proceedings. A little tip of the hat to fellow Texan Carroll Shelby.
