Very interesting and enlightening article, thanks!

I was a little surprised Martin hedged a bit with respect to a return to LeMans next year...

Also surprised to learn transportation costs for "flyaway" races are born by the promoter. Did not know that...

Some team builds a killer car, they take the class away. ( It is the nature of the beast ) Followed Gt racing since the 60's, it has happened many, many times. Teams like Matech will still win. A win at Le Mans in the top GT class, no manner what it is called, is still glorious.

Very interesting article. Lots of second level support from Ford. Sharing engineering CAD materials is unheard of.
