This whole program just makes me proud and excited. Yeah...we all wanted a win in Daytona but it is a marathon to the ultimate goal and it looks like Ford is gonna peak at the perfect time. Being at LeMans was so in the plans when DBK talked about it in Vegas. Jovette and I were all in but our son and daughter in law ( who some of yall have met ) decided to bless us with our first grandbaby due May 29. I am suggesting "Henry or Henrietta" as they haven't made up their minds yet and still don't know what God has blessed us with. Rest assured, I will be watching LeMans and holding my first grandbaby. Go Ford! Kick some ass!

We will miss you Mike and Jovette. It is a blessing having grandchildren. Our 1st arrived a bit over a year ago. She is bundle of joy. You are gonna love it!

I don't think so. I never saw them but there were other GT people there I never saw either.

So was there BOP adjustments for this race? How come they gained so much from long beach or silverstone? I would think they would have the most to gain on the longer tracks.

No adjustments. The only difference was that each team who will be racing at Le Mans was given the chance to use the new LM-spec tire for the first time. Probably some gain there given the relationship between Ford and Michelin during development, and the fact Raj said the race car starts from the tire back.

Interesting.

I'm missing your point. :confused

The premiere class should get top billing... :shrug
:facepalm:

:rofl

I get it... It's just that I wouldn't have cared if Senna and Schumacher had somehow been brought in to race each other on camels, backwards.

No matter what else was happening I was tuning in to watch the GTs. Because "fordgtforum.com".
