With exclusive first-hand commentary, this classic video from Ford Racing tells the story of the original Ford GT program with a special focus on victory at Le Mans.
This remarkable 11-minute film from Ford Racing, produced in 2011, tells the story of the Ford GT program through the eyes of three people, each with unique vantage points.
+ Edsel Ford II, the son of Henry Ford II, a veteran Ford executive, and the greatest racing fan the Motor Company ever had. His father was responsible for launching the Ford GT racing program and driving it to success at any cost.
+ Racing legend Dan Gurney (1931-2018), co-driver with A.J. Foyt of the Ford Mark IV prototype that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1967.
+ Mose Nowland, the Ford engineer (now retired) who played a key role in the company’s racing developments for decades, including the GT program and its multiple LeMans victories.
These three men each supply their own special point of view in telling one of the great stories in American motorsports. Enjoy the video.
If you ever seen Edsel Ford II at an event, say hi. He’s very accessible and a pleasure to talk to.
