Yes, I actually watched the show on the Discovery HD Channel on the GT, in which it showed the entire Nardo experience and the GPS measurement of 211.89mph!! It is a "must have" vidoe.

Note to those new to the Forum, Mark McGowan was the Ford GT prototype driver who drove our stock GT to over 205 mph at Nardo during the certification testing.

According to our GT Yearbook (pg 48) actual measured velocity was 211.89 Mph on May 8, 2004.

Wife and I are currently in Moscow (were for the weekend) and had the opportunity to meet Alex and ride in his TT GT. Here is what I learned:
1) The car is beautiful and fast! First time in a TT! Quite unbelievable...and I thought stock was fast. This car redefines "fast".
2) Alex is a good driver. You can drive in ways in Russia that you cannot in the USA. That being said, he is still good!
2) More importantly, Alex is a nice and generous guy...chalk another one up for this forum. I have not met many of you, but every one with whom I have met or talked with is first class.
Looking forward to seeing you all at the Rally in Austin! Just one more reason that has made me decide to attend the rally...the people are some of the best!:thumbsup

That looked like a great event. Any other links for vids/pics? Did you ever line up your fgt tt with the hks 570 gtr? What were your thoughts on the hks gtr? Seemed as if the hks gtr, spi porsche and your car were top cars.

Some more videos in my thread in the Sound and Vision section.
For all the videos - punch in dragtimes.info on youtube and you should find all of them.
The HKS gtr was not that impressive - I think it had some software issues.
On the next event on 25th July - they are bringing 2 700WHP GTR's from Switzer and an Evotech 911 with 800 WHP.
I am running full boost this time.
