@@Jesko.the AMR Pro isn’t meant to be an epic driver experience. It’s meant to be a time attack weapon that goes really fast. I wouldn’t doubt that the driver experience in this GT is significantly more awesome, just due to the fact that the normal GT is focused entirely on driving pleasure.
Wow. I’m in complete awe. It’s actually really since, because I had just watched Ford vs Ferrari yesterday, and saw the GT40 at Daytona and Le Mans. It was so cool, and now we have this. The Ford GT, has always, and will always be one of the best super cars if not THE best super car to ever hit the road!

@@Shmee150 Actually this event was A Living moving automotive museum ..I saw you coming out of the Pagani as well ... Always been curious about the TVR Griffith ??
As an American this gives me a little hope that motorsports is not dying in America today, loved hearing those cars incredible engines circling the track.
It has always amazed me how little racing there is in the US. There is not even a real race track in each state. The entire US has only, what... 3-4 real race tracks up to any kind of standards. And extremely few sportscars / supercars / racing cars. Which is why they had to use a British car with a British driver to get that legendary win back in the 60s. And its the same again with the 2005 Ford GT, and this new racecar in this video. Ford tried design and build it themselves. But in the end, they had to call in the Brits to get the job done properly. After Fords inhouse attempt failed and got closed down. Its the same with the SSC Tuatara... That one was built in Italy. And the Venom that the other guy mentioned, gets 100% built in England. America just... Cant make the good stuff. Thats not just cars. Its in everything.
@@captain_context9991US has tons of great tracks. Actually some legendary tracks. VIR, Sebring, Leguna Seca, Road Atlanta, Watkins Glen, Circuit of America, Willow Springs, Lime Rock, Road America, Barber Motorsports. Etc etc, and that’s just road courses much less legendary tracks like Daytona, Talladaga, Bristol, and tens of famous oval tracks across the country. I would love to see it even more celebrated like the 80’s and 90’s but I haven’t lost all hope. Also I would bet good money your favorite music artists plays an American instrument.
The MkIV bodywork is absolutely insane cool, the side intakes are freakin' massive. super cool. So,..... What crazy s.o.b. is gonna convert their "regular" GT (lol) into a MkIV clone??? I just cant get over the aero... SO sick.
I enjoyed your video. No matter the manufacture, model or year. The Ford GT Mark IV is a beautiful work of art with amazing technologies. It was hard to determine but it appeared you were talking to the driver during his lap. He mentioned later that he sometimes got confused with the numerous gauges. Besides staying focused. Reasons not to talk with a pro driver during lap. I'm also sure you realize that that was not a full hot lap since my guess is the tires were just reaching temp after about 1/2 a lap plus that track didn't allow the Mark IV to run it's full 800 horsepower due to it's design with lots of corners and limited straightaways. Otherwise you would have shared your breakfast with your U-Tube subs. I'm curious if your looking at obtaining a Dark Horse GTD Supercar?
Living the life my friend! You're gonna definitely need to write a book midway through your life bro! Those versions of your GT are amazing.. Lol, I guess you can say, yours in the civilized version.. lol
The driver gets to wear fireproof overalls to protect him - you know, in case there's a crash and they're engulfed in a fireball...Shmee gets to wear his everyday clothes because of course, they'll protect him 🤪👍😂
Why doesnt Ford sell a street version of this? Theres enough people who would pay for an 800hp Ford GT, even just build 40 of them in honor of the car and the original.
COME ON HOW REDONKCULOUS WAS THAT ‼️👌🏾‼️ 2 HOT LAPS RIGHT OFF THE BAT IN THAT JACKED UP RACECAR VERSION OF THE FORD GT OOWEE SHME150 IS ALWAYS IN THE PLACE TO BE , OH HOW I THANK THEEE ...AWESOME VLOG TIM ALWAYS DELIVERS ‼️👊🏾‼️💯‼️
Great video Shmee!!! When you got in that car to speed insanely around the track (what a great car!), did you not wonder why you were not wearing full fire protection like the driver was?
Shmee150 Absolutely Incredible Video I think it's absolutey incredible that you got to ride in that absolutely incredible Ford GT MK IV and get a full walk-around and I hope you get a chance to drive one someday
Ford if you are listening, please get the GT90 out of the archives and offer the design as it is .. either as a super limited run or an adfordable version of the GT.
What an incredible vehicle and another highlight of an already spectacular trip! Did i see a F1 GTR LT is there? Perhaps a chance to complete the trifecta? What a drive thay would be! Looking forward to more great US content 👍
FINE REPORTING SCHMEE - Great Product - Excellent Historical context -AND, with Your extensive exposure and History with contemporary Exotics - You are doing a Super Job☆ Have fun and, "stay safe" - You Lucky Rascal 😂❤
You are one lucky guy ... You are no one just a guy watching real people(real humanity) toys ... You're some of the townspeople(no one) to test toys of Ford Company.
I was there, after you had a lap in the Zonda I wanted to talk to you and take a picture but you seemed very stressed and… sweaty. Then you had to hurry up to go somewhere so I just said.. next time. Good to see you though.
I absolutely loved the GT when it first came out and find yours probably my favourite in the collection. This Mk 4 is just incredible and looks amazing.....not sure about the thin Ali heat shield over the exhaust but apart from that it looks incredible...much wider also and bigger radiators etc. Not as elegant as yours or the Mk 2 though. But it's NEVER a loss for Ford.....that whole project is just a pittance for them.....they paid for it with a few Fiesta sales I imagine. These people NEVER loos money. This is fantastic for us 'profane' normal folk....for them it's just a marketing plan that we can enjoy. My I am cynical but LOVE it anyway!!! Great vid Sir!!
i've seen one of this fly past me on laguna seca like I was standing still even though I was full throttle. Google's engineer sloss owns that ford gt mark IV
That must have been such an experience! The last racing car I drove had 330BHP and weighed 770Kg so that gave me a taste of what you might have experienced! 😉😊🤩Good for you! Shmee 150!!
I don't think so. What were you driving. My doubt is down force, active suspension in a 200+ mph super car. This car was running level 2 which is 100 horsepower less than it's capable
@@DWH300 The car I had if I had got the right fifth gear in it! It would have done 180mph ok! I accept you are talking about a car that does 200 mph! The car I drove was an introduction and I did say that ok!

I should’ve kept a closer eye out yesterday, would’ve loved to say hello. What a great event, walking the paddock was like a greatest hits album!
Still walking around
i remember this track on GT
Love that Scott Maxwell was wearing Ferrari Ray Bans whilst talking Ford GT MKIV, excellent irony / historic link.
Very special episode with a really specia Ford GT. Thanks for this Tim.
Thanks for sharing this! I had no idea ford was introducing the mark 4!

Shmeee isn’t in a race, context is key. But you’re so cool
Wouldn’t be a great day with out someone being offended
I'm sure Schmee signed a very hefty waiver.
Good point lol
Funny!
Perfect for cars & coffee. Looking forward to seeing what it can do on the Nürburgring course.
I remember this circuit from Forza, definitely a cool track
Used to drive it IRL. Very fun, supposed to be very technical.
That was incredible. Imagine a track day in that. The stuff of dreams

I'm sorry! We came back later on, and I've been around all day today. Wasn't feeling so great after that many laps 😆
Usually, I like when Tim narrates the lap but I really, really wanted to just listen to the car!
15:43 Ford guy running a pair of Ferrari glasses ahahahah awesome
The best looking super car to date.
Shmee the professional passenger ..well done
That is mightily fast. What a machine
Not often Shmee gets this gitty 😂 that was incredible
I normally don't like Fords very much, but your Ford GT is my absolute favourite Shmeemobile. That just goes to show how cool that car is.
Shmee after the Valkyrie was similar to the new GT. Really shocking imo. Ford should be proud.
Example of a V6 sounding incredible. I feel like many sound bad, but when they sound good, they sound amazing.
Not sure if Uyou saw shmee but youtubers isaac and andrea were behind you whilst you were concluding😂😮

I wonder when the new GT is going to be made. Well IF it’s made. The street car is mostly the same sense 2017. I’d love to see a new one.
I’ve just got to grab my helmet!!
Enough said !!
😆
They said it was lmp2 speed but I'm not buying it. I'll wait for spa lap times.
That first gear engagement is like something you'd only hear on an offshore oil rig.
Thats how a GT should look !!!
Passenger in a race/track car is unreal when you have someone that really knows their stuff operating it

Wow. I used to drive that track in my V8 M3…No where near those speeds. They were saying LMP2 times 😮
will look good on a turntable in manny koshbins garage.
