By Far the coolest Race I have Ever been a part of... As I said in the video I literally had a tear in my eye the first time going down the mulsanne straight

[@spgguy]

Dang. I wish I knew you were there. I was there supporting a friend with an 1986 962. Great weekend.🏁

This is the type of special special content that I crave to see. These videos bring up that deep love I have for these cars. That is a dream drive and so glad to see all three of you guys could take part. What a special GT40 and what a story! I would love to hear more ownership stories of these one of a kind examples...Zonda Revo, GT2 RSR, GT40 Proto etc. Thank you for sharing

[@mistress7343]

Great story. Always loved the GT40 and looks like you had a great time.

[@rustynail2205]

Peter You sure are living the LIFE FANTASTIC. 🇨🇦😎

[@dallisb1047]

I love watching other people living out my dreams. My dreams that are out of my reach, but brought to life by others. Thanks Peter. And to your sons as well. I have watched you for years.

What a dream to live driving the prototype Ford GT at Lemans. Imagine being Ritchie Ginther in 1964 with the original nose doing 210 mph down Mulsanne!. That speed was unheard of till the Fords showed up. I was 12 in 1964 and had just gotten into auto racing when all this happened. What a time to be a kid in America.

[@shawns57garage]

This is absolutely wicked👍🏁

[@kevinbarrett9615]

What a great experience for your family !

[@Rattlecanjeff]

Awesome time guys!

[@windronner1]

What a remarkable experience. 👍. Wow

[@tomp1612]

Looks like a great event and cool experience. I see the car was also at Goodwood Revival so did you leave it overseas all summer?

[@shawns57garage]

Must be insane driving in the dark in what I am assuming to be a nearly priceless machine 🤷‍♂️

[@user-eu4mf1go7j]

What a great experience for your family. While I really your lap with commentary. Some laps just hearing the car would be great. Thank you

[@legendarymotorcar]

Gonna post a whole video of that!

[@RobertEHunt-dv9sq]

You two are killing me. I am so envious. A classic GT40, LeMans and at night. It doesn’t get better than that. How’s the Corvette doing? Cheers from Texas

[@velocityjet1884]

The ultimate racing track the best of the best, I don't like the chicanes on The Mulsanne Straight, I'd prefer the original Straight, it is emotional watching the car roar down the end part of the straight, what an amazing experience watching shotgun on this lap.

[@adamgilesconcoursdelegance9302]

Do you need a car like that??🤣

[@Don_Johnson521]

Miss that show

March 2019. Mkii Motorsports TT GT hits 300.4 MPH in one mile. FoMoCo is king

[@thomassciaroni6942]

Gas Monkeys Ford "Bad" GT has gone 311MpH owner/driver promising 325 with real tune and a race with another car. Rule is: must drive to the track street legal, no towing.

[@chadkent1241]

@thomassciaroni6942 It took bad GT a 1/2 a mile more distance and over 20 seconds longer to hit three hundred miles an hour. That's not even close. Ftr, MKII car went through a McDonald's drive through in STREET LEGAL trim, and brought burgers back after its OFFICIAL standing mile world record. BADD gt isn't as bad as MKII

[@chadkent1241]

@@thomassciaroni6942 MKII is the official record holder

[@dtracy03ss]

What was the Flashing Blue light coming into some Turns?

[@christophernoto]

That’s like a blue flag. It means, “You are holding up the car behind you. Get out of the way and let them through.”

[@Johnnycdrums]

What happened to that 289? Who owns the car?
