Mustang GTD - First American Sub-7 Minute Lap at The Ring
Yesterday Ford became the first North American Manufacturer to turn a sub-7 minute lap at Nurbergring Motorsports Facility in Germany, nicknamed The Green Hell! With only 5 other cars in the sub-7 club Ford is #5 at 6.57.685 minutes, and while ecstatic, the engineers were most excited that the lap was under less-than-ideal weather conditions. There are a bunch of video clips out there, including one with a cockpit camera during "the lap", but this one gave me chills - https://youtu.be/YuxuSLB1hg8?si=9hci7dyDiIkEN_CZ Best is the Ford engineers saying "...the car has more to give. We'll be back!" Like LeMans '66 when Ford took 1, 2, 3 with the GT40's, destroying Ferrari's dominance of endurance racing. WOW!! Just WOW!!Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
