It’s amazing how with all the tricks and engineering all the teams come up with, after racing for a full day, a finish can be this close.
I watched about half of it
Just shake off this first race Ford GT. There’ll be more.
Being a Corvette fan, I was really bummed about what happened to the Ford GTs. I’m sure Ford Performance will continue R&D before the 12 Hours of Sebring.
I was there and that finish was amazing
Team Corvette, winning again.
Ford GT has alot to catch up to. Im exciting to see what their response will be
damn, another Corvette hype for me since the times of Gran Turismo 3! Mad win!
It was a great experience to be there in person. The racing is great and the people are equally great
This was a great race especially towards the end. In prototype, cars were dropping out with issues and the lead was changing all the time. In GTD the first place car ran out of fuel. And then the corvette finish had me almost screaming! Cant wait to see the next race.
