@@Shmee150swap out your camera mounts with Smallrig suction mounts, they're far superior to the Ram mounts you're currently running. I doubt but hope you see this.
Me too! The design of that car has a ton of airflow past the engine. Maybe a radiator and/or intercooler isn’t working as designed? I’ve done a track day with BMW M-Cars there in July with triple digit temps and they didn’t overheat.
It's a different cooling set up for racecars. Street cars are made that they can go slow. Race cars have to go fast all the time in order to stay cool.
@@petercrombie6652 If you're referring to Jeremy Clarkson's GT, that was an aftermarket immobilizer system his insurance company forced him to install; not Ford's fault. The 05 GT was never "problem-riddled", that's a myth.
What 2 laps at average speeds and it needs to cool down and it should get cooler on the straight as it has more airflow should it not? All the things that Tim mentions about hyper cars, like his Senna requiring shocks after a couple of thousand miles just makes me cringe. You understand why some are just collected and not driven.
My dad has been in Alaska teaching and just got home today. We just watched this and he loved it! He isn't a car guy. Thanks Tim for giving me and my dad something else to bond over.
Shmee, you should have an Ireland tour in ur Mustang GT500! you can get some gorgeous shots in the west and south east. The Emerald Island will love your Mustang here and it will be at home as well! Ur Lotus will prolly suit the roads better tho. also love the content! keep it up!!!!
Another absolutely EPIC video! The Ford GT is a modern day classic and to actually see it driven the way it was meant to be driven earns my big respect. This track, with these cars adds up to be one AMAZING day! Shmee just continues to kill it with the great content. Thank you!
@@Shmee150He is entirely correct Tim, few may have your money and income but it certainly inspires everybody who watches and gives areal “ feel good” experience. Well done again!😀😀😀😀
💯 Agree! The first time I saw one of Tim’s videos, he was driving , or doing something with, his GT Black Series. (It was already Solar Beam Yellow) I immediately fell in love with that car and knew I had to have one. (I have a picture of an orange one as my Lock Screen on my phone. Dream car!) But when I looked up the information about them, I knew immediately it would never happen because of the price. A couple hundred grand out of my price range. But, I also learned there’s different models that I could afford. Well, about 4 weeks ago I bought a 2016 AMG GTS. And, I’m absolutely in love with it! A giant Black Series style wing has been ordered, and will be here in a few weeks. Lowering springs will be here tomorrow. Rims will be powder coated Satin Black in the next couple of weeks. Once that’s all here, I’ll be wrapping it in a proper super car color, Lime Green. (I’m a wrap installer for a living) Then it’ll be time to do down pipes and a tune. I freaking can’t wait! All because of Tim and his GT Black Series. If you have a dream, go chase it. The reward is amazing!
Great time! however, as a Michelin tire designer, I would advise you to not enter the track with such low pressure (1.5/1.6b). You should adjust your tire pressure after warming them up on 1 or 2 first laps. Driving on track with low pressure can damage the tire inside and you don't want that on a fast track where the high speed capacity of the tire is involved.
I love everything shmee does, and have for so so many years, but with that said the title is a clickbaity. We love you shmee and will watch everything regardless, you don’t need to title them like this
This is why i love Tim's videos, you never know what his next video will be. A garage review? A car review? New car? Track day? You just never know. Tim, thanks!
HI Shmee! Caught you pulling into the gas station on William Cannon on Tuesday! Saw you in the GT tried to say hi, I was in my E92 m3! Beautiful car! Glad you had fun at Cota one of my Favorite tracks and I can see the tower from my House :D
Wow Tim, that Ford GT with a V6 is so impressive. It is such a track car but also a dual threat because it can be daily driven. I’m impressed. Nice driving Tim.
Sometimes a balanced vehicle is as you said just as important! I once had the chance to drive in a Sports 2000 and boy was that so beautifully balanced it actually would be netural in its nature, in some very high speed corners! It was such a joy to drive!
Dang, man. I was there this weekend for the race. I left right after all of the expensive cars went on the track for that cruise lap. I wish I could’ve said hi. COTA is a fun track.
I'm surprised that GT reduced the power already at such relatively low temps (both the oil and coolant) for the track. Also, the car did not have any message to stop driving at full speed, just that it reduced the power, to stop the rising of the temps, so there was nothing broken.
This seems to be a problem with the mechanics of the car itself. Why was it overheating in the first place on the first lap. Is it the Ac Being on the whole time, Is it the rolling resistance causing the engine to work harder because of the Low pressure?.
Shmee150 Absolutely Incredible Video I'm glad you had a great time driving your Absolutely Gorgeous and Incredible Ford GT at COTA and I'm sorry to hear that it had a couple heating issues and I can't wait to see what else is in store
Really interesting point of discussion - Ford engine / coolant temps - Wanted to know peoples thoughts on this .. The coolant temp was 119 Celsius @ 87mph ? Is this normal? Some cars I have seen run 600bhp ie a TT but temps stay low - My fans come on too at 90mph ( on the track lol) so, What is it?
I honestly think your videos are awesome, very entertaining and informative. And you are so enthusiastic which is a lesson for life. Also I find it very funny that Newcastle goal that was out of play probably cost Arsenal the title! 😂 Howay the lads! 😜
@Shmee150 not a fan of the Title. Other than that, great video again even though the cameras struggled. It was great seeing the Ford GT at speed at Cota. Cota has sort of become a favorite of mine in RR3 (i play regularly). Such a great track to play around with different lines and speeds... I love that.
Someone in licensing department in USA definitely didn't like you tha "DYKE" tag on dark horse is hilarious you definitely have to keep it and put it on wall in The Shmuseum 😅😂😊
SMEE when will you look back to history and add some classic supercars to your collection. Yes I get how you love the new supercars. But Muria, Countach, Jalpo, Maserati Indy, Ferrari Testarossa, Daytona, F50. Jaguar XK120, D-type. Come on man these are the genesis of petrolhead heaven. Let’s see some in your garage.
That's me at at the 7:37 mark on the Terrace taking photos with the teal bag across my chest. I thought Shmee was there but couldn't find him. Was Emilia there too? I know she was in Austin. The whole event was amazing! I wish I could have rode with someone dang it!
@@AB-80-X i could see that being the case since Shmees cars maintenance is up to spec. Reminds me of the previous Corvettes that would overheat on the track from the factory, which was later addressed after customer complaints. With the Texas heat and that he probably had the A/C on definitely doesnt help, but its still disappointing that the cars cooling capacity is incapable. The Royal Purple Ice might have given him one more good lap, or brought the temps down 10-15 degrees which may help prevent the aluminum engine from warping while under load.
Wouldn't be a proper track session without at least SOMETHING going wrong, that's how you know you got the most out of your car! Quality video as always!
Absolutely! Pushing the cars is totally what they are built for
@shmee150 love the content you were the one that got me into cars 👍
@@Shmee150 You broke the GT because you really need a Mclaren Senna!
@@Shmee150swap out your camera mounts with Smallrig suction mounts, they're far superior to the Ram mounts you're currently running. I doubt but hope you see this.
@@DCC85100 Why would he buy another Senna?
I'm really surprised the temps climbed into warning territory even with the Texas heat, this is a dedicated Le Mans endurance racer after all.
Me too! The design of that car has a ton of airflow past the engine. Maybe a radiator and/or intercooler isn’t working as designed?

Don't be silly - this is a consumer vehicle built like any other Ford and just the same as the previous problem riddled GT.

Would love to come back over again, it's been a very long time
A hot abarth would be cool in your garage. Love my abarth
You say "its not normal" driving a car like the GT with a BC and yet I see you doing stuff like that all the time 😂😂 In your world it is normal LOL
It’s probably the most iconic car you own. Love to see it being pushed ❤❤❤
That Dark Horse of yours is SCREAMING for your first US SHMEE plate on the back of that car!!
Another absolutely EPIC video! The Ford GT is a modern day classic and to actually see it driven the way it was meant to be driven earns my big respect. This track, with these cars adds up to be one AMAZING day! Shmee just continues to kill it with the great content. Thank you!
Thank you Tim, it's an honor as always to have you join us at Hypercar Invitational. Best wishes for a productive remainer of your USA tour.
We as the viewers had a great time watching these incredible cars being pushed to the limit. Thank you for having SHMEE at this event 👌👍

It is excellent to see you enjoying the cars, Tim. That is what the majority of your subscribers dream about when watching the channel.
That Quicksilver system sounds FANTASTIC!!!!!!
It must be amazing to drive the GT on the track 👌
Absolutely incredible experience
@@Shmee150 Taking some slick lines there Tim, bravo sir👌
18:45. The Zenvo would have been great with that line up.
Tooo scared to drive more than 80MPH
Tooo scared to drive more than 80MPH
One lap and it overheats-design fault or just faulty? I still think your car is the best looking Ford GT out there, lovely to see you using it.
Underpowered, does not make the fastest laps and 1 lap overheat. Overrated car tbh.
It's always wonderful to experience Tim's enthusiasm and wonder. Welcome back to America Shmee! 💪🇺🇲🇬🇧

I was the one who had you sign the rotor! It was amazing to meet you !
Such beautiful cars!!!! This video was good on the ears
Excellent video, am looking forward to Goodwood now, hopefully you are taking some shmeemobiles too?
I drove a Porsche 911 and a Mclaren 570s at Cota back in 2015... fun times!
The GoPro curse strikes almost immediately. The difference from your Sony cams is astonishing.

Epic fun!🎉🎉 Looking forward to the tour shenanigans ❤
Hello Tim, the gold aventador svj is an aventador lp 700-4 upgraded to SVJ by a Vietnamese engineer.
I love it when Shmee is here!
That Apollo is the first one I've actually liked. Beautiful car 🎉
Thank you for sharing this amazing experience ❤
You need to design your own helmet and take that with to all a round world.
I often think about this but I just don't have the space on me to carry a helmet everywhere unfortunately
@@Shmee150leave it in the car a matching helmet might actually be the cherry 🍒 on the cake
@@Shmee150 yeah that would take one Peli case to checked baggage and huge volume on car trunk.
That Silver P1 is the first hypercar I ever saw, down in Monterey at a random gas station during my first car week!
Dont no what it is but i used to love this channel. Just nothing keeps me watching anymore.
Take it to Spa, Zandvoort, Monza, maybe even Suzuka! As many fabled racetracks as possible!
I always enjoy the gynecomastia-enhancing shirts.
Ayyyy, i finally caught myself in a shmee video, it was so cool to see your car out on track with all the other incredible hypercars
What a dream. Insane. Love this car.
Overheating wouldn’t be acceptable in my opinion. Thermostat different for UK spec cars perhaps due to cooler temps versus US?
Never heard Circuit of the America's called an iconic race track... what makes it so Iconic...? Is it the elevation changes...?
I loved driving on the track. Just watch for BMW to have their M-Track day at COTA open up.
#shquad..... Hi Tim 👋 have fun on the tour, be careful on Sunday.....
This guy makes no sense. Bragging that the GT is a track weapon but overheating after 3 laps
bugatti are one of the few cars i prefer in white! looks wicked, awesome video as always!
Title definitely makes your heart stop 😅. The US tour starting off with some insane company! Can’t wait to see what’s in store!!!
Brave enough to track a Ford GT...respect.
I keep calling the GT the GT40 given it's heritage. I know I'm technically wrong but I keep doing it without thinking.

So nice to see you pushing the car Shmee! As intended.
Need to bring it to the east coast to experience VIR. Paul Newman said it's heaven on earth and he wasn't wrong.
Cota one of the most iconic race tracks in the world 🤔😳, big time exaggerated statement
To Shmee, please rev your engine to 3500 rpm and make your engine water pumps work plus drive at least at 60 km/h so radiators get enough air flow.
Gotta respect Timothy, imagine all the FF miles and Hilton rewards points he’s racked up!? 🤣🤣🤣
Heading up to Colorado this time of year, says “Pikes Peak International Hill Climb” 😁👍🏻
Good lines on that track!
Would have loved to see you collab with Normal Guy Supercar.

Shmee really stayed next to a real purple dragon
Crazy that you have two British registered cars that have driven an American track
Tim, you should try and bring the GT up to Road America if you ever get the chance! Would be an awesome track drive up here in Wisconsin!
Love Egg’s, but I reckon the Ford Gt’s body and looks beats them all.
Someone in licensing department in USA definitely didn't like you tha "DYKE" tag on dark horse is hilarious you definitely have to keep it and put it on wall in The Shmuseum 😅😂😊

stop by Montreal for the Canadian Grand Prix !
Can't wait for that blue F40 video and what are u bringing tk gumball this year cos t Ford GT with the ski box is 💥
He's not doing Gumball this year.
Hes gonna do soc instead
When are you visiting Dortmund Germany! 🇩🇪 loving your content!! 🎉
You need to do the Hennessey upgrade to your Ford Darkhorse
Good seeing the GT back at track. But Tim, it need to be back at la sarthe. Together with the GT8
If only this car had the gt500 engine
The Dark Horse and the GT have to look more like a duoooo😊
This is actually so cool and inspiring Tim
Contact Goosetuned and get your GT tuned. Easy HP increase. Guy is a genius
Respect for tracking your car
1 minute no views. Never been this early except in bed 😂
My man your channel is soooooooooooo nice ı love you
Thanks for watching
It would be cool if the GT could make an appearance at the Triple F event
We’re going for a cooldown lap, then next clip proceeds to send the car round as fast as possible
