How good is that! But now Ferrari are trying to say that the Ford was too fast and racing too close to LMP2 times, trying to get it penalised. The passion and drama of Le Mans, I love it!

The GT in my eyes is one of the nicest looking race cars and obviously it has the power to stand by the looks. Even better beating Ferrari shame it wasnt a 1,2,3

And if you want to get nasty, almighty Ferrari aren't innocent in their actions over the years...in fact, some action could be interpreted as, well, cheating...

Still won after organisers cut the Fords boost after qualifying. Engine mainly stock 3.5 Ecoboost components. Great videos on web from Roush on engine

Just like out of the Classic 1970 movie Lemans with Steve McQueen. In the last 10 minutes of the movie. You see Porsche is fighting out with Ferrari, right down the wire. It's now Ford fighting Ferrari and Ford wins!
Way to go Ford!

Anyone know what happened to the Ferrari that finished 2nd. They were supposed to serve a Stop Go Penalty over a light. Anyone know what happened with that?

Ford played the BoP system, but so did Ferrari and so did the guys running Corvettes. Ford just did a better job, and are still running the heaviest car in GTE. |

Winning GT got a 50 second penalty for breaking a speed zone limit and another 20 for faulty wheel sensors. No change to positions.

With the 70 second total penalty that the winner got, and the 60 second margin between 1st and 2nd, the GT still won. http://www.speedcafe.com/2016/06/20/...ace-penalties/ Edit: Nikked beat me to it. |

What do faulty wheel sensors have to do with anything?

The FIA needs access to the telemetry for BoP, so my.guess is incise they run dud sensors to send due info to the FIA.
Also seems coincidental they got done for speeding in a slow zone as well |
