    What an absolutely beautiful race car. That was a precious period in racing history when all the cars were different and very unique.
    The race cars in the 50's and 60's were more like works of art. Even through the 70's. Now you can't tell one from the other. They all look the same.

    It's such a great looking car!....the template for the best looking car ever that came later in recent years; the Ford GT.

    The original GT40 is such an iconic car! A real treat to see them being driven properly by people who know how.

    Watching two "real" Ford GT 40, flat out fighting on the track os something surreal. Even better if I could be there.
    For a car aficionado, I don't think it gets any better than that.

    There I was reading Octane Magazine about the Shedden GT40. Talk about "what you focus on appears".

    First time I ever noticed they have versions of the door to accomodate taller drivers.

      That's called the Gurney Bubble. That bubble was designed to accommodate Dan Gurney because he was so tall. Gurney was 6'2" and his head hit the roof
      inside the Ford GT MKIV . Gurney and AJ Foyt won LeMans in the Ford GT MKIV in 1967.

    are these GT40s wearing modern tires modern rubber 🤔 ? they wouldn't use 65 year old rubber technology so it must be modern but still looks period

    • @daedalus_20v

      They are absolutely using 65 year-old tire technology on these cars. It's a requirement. Watch how pretty much everything at Goodwood dances through corners, that's (one of) the reasons why. From one of the class rulebooks: *"Cars must only use Dunlop Vintage or 'L' section racing tyres which have 204 compound only and tread pattern CR65 or earlier."*

      @@HairFollicle I guess what they lack in down force and tires they make up with leightness, power and the drivers larger than normal testicles.

    Did they have to boost the roof on car 40 because the driver was too tall?

      The classic Gurney Bump.
