This year marked 50 years since Ford's legendary win at the Le Mans 24 Hours race. Ford entered four cars, run by Chip Ganassi Racing in the GTE Pro class. Over 24 hours, the three cars that finished covered 340 laps and finished first, third and fourth in class.

 

 

Ford's global development boss, Raj Nair, said: "As we developed the Ford GT, from the outset, we wanted to ensure we had a car that has what it takes to return Ford to the world of GT racing. We believe the Ford GT's advances in aerodynamics, light-weighting and EcoBoost power will make for a compelling race car that can once again compete on a global stage."
