Ford vs Ferrari pavilion
« on: July 01, 2015, 05:41:08 am »
Did anyone visit the Ford vs Ferrari pavilion? When I went along on Saturday night it was all locked up.
I wonder why they go to so much trouble and expense to set these things up....and are not open when the race is on and lots of people would be interested in visiting.

FORD have just announced the new GT is to be built in Ontario.

I thought it was common knowledge that Multimatic are building the cars. CGR will run them in the US and a new UK based operation will run them in the WEC.
Of course I buy green cars, my Aston is green, my MGB is green, my Disco Sport is green,  oh, that's not what you meant by green?

Phil,

Yes, we visited.  I wanted to visit and found it closed too, so came back in daylight hours.

Not a bad overview and a few tasty (priceless) cars.

Hang on.... wasn't it 1966 that Ford won? Maybe it'll still be there in 2016,

Visited on Wednesday, fine selection of cars, the GT40s on display illustrated the evolution of the car from the first to last generation not sure I have seen them side by side before,

Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better.
