I love this. 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans winning Ford GT preserved.

Used and showing wear just as it should be. Like a perfectly worn in fender strat, or a broken in and weathered pair of boots. Perfection.

Not sure if it was exactly as it crossed the line at Le Mans unless they put on spare bodywork. That chassis continued to race for the remainder of the IWSC season. I was very surprised they took the risk of that car being destroyed.

lmao!

they had the same car at sema in the same condition. also the GT350 race car covered in dirt and bugs as well iirc.

its like the Focker's frying pan that they never wash. just keep cooking in it to let the flavors blend in together lol

Ive gotten to see that car twice now in that condition. It was at sema, and got to see it win at LeMans. Very special, once in a lifetime, to see the GT win on the 50th anniversary.

That clean shiny red one at NAIAS doesn't look to shabby either.
