This video came out at a good time for me. I spent all weekend at Daytona watching the Ford GT's dominate the GTLM class at the Rolex 24 (we'll see what happens with their BoP for Sebring..) and was going through withdrawals yesterday. The EcoBoost engine is actually a lot louder than you would expect and has the most unique sound on track.

Being a Euro spec MY18, remember, it’s a little down on power (10hp) and a heap of torque (30ftlbs) compared to the US spec

Alright, I'll say it.

I adore the Ford GT race car, I loved it from the very start and I get all gitty when I see one in person BUT I personally hate the way it sounds.

It's the worst sounding car in the field.

I think the street car sounds just fine though, actually, I think it sounds pretty damn good. I wish they would have tuned the exhaust on the race car but that would probably rob ponies and the last thing you need to do in a race car is give yourself a disadvantage in the one thing it was designed for.

It did not. The 350R started 10 seconds later than the GT did and the 350R still got in front by the end of its lap.
I didn't meant the GT almost won on the GT350R, I meant that on a corner, the GT ran wide and got pretty close to the GT350R.

Only way a GT can come within 10s of a 350 is to try and side-swipe it.

350 by far the coolest car there !

Not a fan of that race car thingy.

For the track I can't believe they at least didn't use a pp1 for the GT ?!? Dang Focus is the value car of the bunch :)
