The new GT is what 2 years old out of the box designed by a small team in a secure storage area. Production engine ( 3.5l Eco-Boost ) aka "Truck engine" tweaked to the max. 2nd place for a relatively new race car? Nothing to sneeze at...

The Ford GT race cars are brand new this year. The production cars are not out yet. They had to get waivers in IMSA and the European series because they are not yet “homologated” by having enough production cars to qualify for their GTLM class. They had problems at the Daytona 24 hour race, but have been improving.

About 20 minutes left in the race. The two Ford GTs are in the lead followed by one of the Corvettes then the Ferrari back by 55 seconds. The first three still need to make a final pit stop. It will be a close finish.
