Last weekend, gregmhtd (blue NFGT) and I took the cars out to COTA for some recreational fun and what a blast it was. Folks were excited to see the cars together on the track.

Here are some cool shots. We think the one in S's should be in a Ford marketing campaign/ad...not biased at all. :)

It was edge addicts, I saw you guys running around but never got to introduce myself. I was in my track beater e36. Glad y’all got out and ran!

I just love how much shorter the new and old GTs are when compared to the other cars. So cool!

Ha! We were both just having fun, didn't really get a chance to race to go head to head.

What event was that?

Edge Addicts event, they do several there a year. Totally worth it if you haven't don't it before. Message me if you need more info!

It would have been good to meet. We met another NFGT owner. Do you have the red Mk II?

Do they have an open track day?

Edge Addicts, and other groups, will rent the track for a couple days and resell slots to people that want to drive the track. There are different run groups by driver skill level and you typically get to run 4-5 20 min sessions each day.
