All New Ford GT Race Car to Make European Debut at Silverstone Ahead of Historic Return to Le Mans
NEWS www.youtube.com/fordofeurope www.twitter.com/FordEu All New Ford GT Race Car to Make European Debut at Silverstone Ahead of Historic Return to Le Mans • All-new Ford GT will make its European racing debut at the opening round of the 2016 FIA World Endurance Championship at Silverstone in the U.K. in April • Two cars will compete in the GT-Endurance Pro Class ahead of a return to Le Mans where the original Ford GT40 famously first won 50 years ago • The Ford GT race car will compete in all nine rounds of the FIA World Endurance Championship and IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in 2016 COLOGNE, Germany, Sept. 21, 2015 – Ford’s all-new GT race car – revealed at Le Mans in June – will make its European racing debut at the Silverstone Circuit in the U.K. next April. Two cars will line up on the grid for the opening round of the 2016 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) where they will compete in the GT-Endurance Pro Class for the Royal Automobile Club Tourist Trophy. The event is the first of nine WEC rounds announced by the FIA for 2016. Ford will later make its historic return to the Le Sarthe circuit in France where, 50 years ago, Ford’s GT40 won the first of four consecutive Le Mans titles. “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,” said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president, Global Product Development and chief technical officer.
