New livery for LeMans?

[THamonGT]

I really like Ben Keating’s Livery! Really snappy and bright! Naturally Wynn’s chose the colors and the Livery, being his biggest sponsor! Bens very excited about this opportunity to race the Ford GT with his ownership of three Ford Dealerships and his long family relationship with Ford! I’m excited for him and will be pulling for him. I’ve known he and his family many, many years and never thought he would ever be involved in racing. He’s accomplished a lot in a very short period of time and is still a Non Professional Driver with a great record! Good Luck Ben!

I really like them. I know it's only for Le Mans but I would love if they kept them for the remainder.

They’re terrific! But who knows? We may see some other cool retro liveries in the balance of the season. Will be fun to watch!

Time for a wrap ? Not fully, just black side stripes ? Or the porsche brown metallic from the 80ies ?

I'm thinking about it.

So much greatness. Really digging these liveries. Classic and bring out the dramatic lines of the NFGT.

DBK - thank you for sharing photos!

Is the BoP the same for Pro vs Am cars?

 

[MJSFRX]

Fantastic. Great livery colors

Kevin, no they're different

Summarizing from the article:

The biggest change sees Ford’s quartet of Chip Ganassi-entered Ford GTs taking an extra 12 kilos to make a total of 1287 kg.​

Ford’s corresponding turbo output has been enhanced.​

The Keating Motorsports Ford GT that will be competing in the GTE-Am category will run the Test Day at 1295 kg, making it 13 kilos heavier than its next-nearest competitor.​

It means the Am-class Ford will run to a different BoP setting than its GTE-Pro counterpart, both in terms of weight and turbo boost pressure where it has received a three-millibar reduction.​

Sounds like they're not doing Keating any favors. But maybe they want to see how he performs with the handicaps.

Is the BoP the same for Pro vs Am cars?

That’s what it’s supossed to be. It’s actually blue, but I couldn’t tell you why it’s so extraordinarily light.
