My heart stops whenever I see a Ford Cobra on the street here in SoCal.
Vettes, not so much.
A while back, I came real close to rear ending a Shelby Cobra at a stop light & almost had a heart attack! Evidently, his brakes were much better than my FJ Cruiser brakes, ha-ha...
Thanks for the link.
Ouch!
Never heard of England’s Festival,of Speed before. One more thing on the bucket list. Awesome vid of the Ford GT.
Too bad today’s race cars don’t sound like race cars. There was nothing in the world like the huge CanAm engines.
For all the Ford GT fans, all the winning GT40’s will be at Pebble Beach this Aug during Monterey Historics.
Agree. There's nothing like the sound of a GT-40 "bundle of snakes" exhaust winging up through the gears.... Goose bumps.
That’s a replica, not the real deal. Fiberglas panels, that’s why it’s so thoroughly destroyed.
I hope the occupants weren’t too badly hurt.
Heard it from Indy drivers that brakes are The biggest performance difference as opposed to Horse power in race cars.
No doubt. Look at the mangled steering wheel. It was likely a bad one for anyone in that vehicle.
No, they went hurt.
They Ejected,
See that little red “t” handle
below the steering wheel?
The new edition of the Ford GT are awesome, but I still think that the original Ford GT is the most beautiful car ever built.

Very nice restoration on this one.
