Are you literally a knuckle dragging retard?
The cars compete in classes. The ford GT won the GTE class. The Alpine won the LMP2 class. The Porsche won the LMP1 class.
It's not as if the Porsche beat the Ford, they were competing separately with different rules, just on the same track more or less.
>>15304567
Why would you celebrate winning the third tier of racing? Where's fords LM1 car?
>>15304576
you're looking at it, but it's old school
bespoke motor, carbon fiber construction, ground-up design, etc
just they decided to homologate it so they could win gte races against real road cars
we should just get used to the gt winning lots of races from now on
>>15304543
>lost to a V6
>>15304576
It's not third tier you mong,
It's a different class. P1 cars are prototypes, P2 watered down variants, GTE endurance cars based on a production car.
If you've seen the cars they aren't even similar? Obviously you know nothing about motorsports. I'd bet you didn't even watch the race.
You would think people would be happy.
What, you nerds think you ever have a shot at driving one of those GTP cars? At least with the Ford you could if a rich uncle left you some money or you saved up for one instead of getting a mortgage.....
>>15304598
488GTE is a "real road car" compared to a Ford GT now?
They both have bespoke carbon fibre chassis and bespoke engines. Also I'm pretty sure GTE cars don't have to use the engine that comes in the road car anyways.
>>15304682
the ford costs 400k
you'd have a better chance of owning a ferrari 488 which is 245k
and ferrari actually sells their racers to privateer teams
but i can't afford any of them :(
>>15304694
yes they do, they have to use the same engine albeit emissions equipment like mufflers and stuff
and the 488 is a car you could buy months ago, you can't even buy a gt yet
and the 488 is still using the majority of 458 frame, but it still beat the gt at spa
>>15304694
They don't, the corvette for example uses a 5.5L v8 that isn't available on any production corvette
>>15304543
Has Ford ever lost any of the years it has participated in the LeMans? History repeats itself, why even bother when there is no competition.
>>15304723
"The ACO modifies its regulations for “Small manufacturers” (less than 2000 cars produced a year). In order to be eligible a big manufacturer must produce at least one car a week or a small manufacturer one car a month. The cars will be eligible to race when 100 road cars for big manufacturers or 25 road cars for small manufacturers are produced. The car must have an official launch campaign and sales network. The engine must be used in a production car; while this is usually the engine from the road car, the ACO has made exceptions for cars like the BMW Z4 GTE which use engines from other models. Carbon fiber, titanium and magnesium are banned except for special parts like spoilers or wheels. Cars with carbon cockpits (that are not directly attached to the suspension) are allowed. The engine displacement is limited to 5.5L naturally aspirated or 4.0L turbo/supercharged. The SRT Viper is granted a special waiver to 8.0L."
the corvette had to swap it out because the motor was too big
the ferrari and ford still use production motors
>>15304742
If you're going to play with the big boys at least compete in the fastest class, it's like when Americans have a World Series but they're the only country that competes in it
>>15304742

>>15304761
>>15304646
Lemans is the WWE of motorsports.
Each class is irrelevant as the next.
The GTEpros are so loosely based on the real car they represent that it might as well be NASCAR.
Only redeeming factor is the P1s push new auto tech.
>>15304775
Oh yeah I forgot America no.2
>>15304710
Lmao as if you could get a 488 for 245.
300-350 with a couple options
How long are the Ferrari fangirls going to be angry about this one?
Also, cars only compete within categories (LMP1, LMP2, GTE Pro, GTE Ama). To say that 1st place LMP1 beat 1st place GTE Pro is like saying the dude who got gold for 500m freestyle beat the dude who got gold for 500m breaststroke because he took less time even though they were in separate races.
It's fucking nonsensical.

People only really care about GTE Pro and LMP1 results. I'd say the majority are in the former camp, because road cars.
But you'd know this if you watched motorsport at all.
>>15304761
Honestly, look at what Ford did to the GTE PRO with a V6 and that was after they made them dial it back to make things more fair. If Ford entered LMP1 or LMP2 the FIA would change all the rules and ban whatever Ford wins with like they did to Mazda. Ferrari and all the other major manufacturers would be pulling so many strings in the background.
>>15304798
same reason they don't allow women to compete vs men in contact sports.
miss ford would catch a beating
>>15304798
It's a gm fangirl false flagging as a ferrari fangirl
>>15304798
GTE is irrelevant, Le Mans is about engine endurance, if your not racing LM1 or LM2 then it doesn't even matter, GTE is only on the news in the US, the rest of the world is talking about LM1 and the race between Porsche and Toyota

>>15304722
With that in mind it's not too impressive, but it was Ford's first time touching a supercar in a decade, and it won on it's first go. Even in the 60's the GT40 had two years of losses before it cleaned house.
Damn hard time to be European
First the Greek debt crisis, then the refugee crisis, then Brexit, and now getting BTFO at Le Mans
when will yuros learn
>>15304834
>factory KM

>>15304810
Lol, not likely, there are no American manufactures at the bleeding edge of car tech, where's ford in LM1? Where's ford or Chevy in formula 1?, these are all racing classes that are pushing what's possible in cars that eventually end up in road cars, Le Mans being about endurance and formula 1 being performance

>>15304835
>touching a supercar
that's where things get interesting
the GT is built by a company called Multimatic, which is located in Ontario
now a lot of companies have cars built in other countries, but this is the first time that i've seen a flagship built anywhere other than the home country (even the corvette is built in michigan)
but then you look up multimatic motorsports (a part of the same company), a company that has raced pretty much exclusively Fords since the early 90s, all with factory support, which is the same company that built the GT and i'd assume put in a lot of engineering experience as well, considering they've designed prototypes
and when you take into account how similar the gt is to a daytona prototype (they even use the same engine, carbon fiber monocoque, etc) like the ones that multimatic have built and raced successfully. this company has also won their class at lemans back in 2000
so, long story short, it sounds like Ford needed to rebuild the GT and give it the same credentials that the original had so they went to their long-time Canadian buddies, had them design and build a racing car around a proven motor, and then sent the car off to Chip Ganassi racing so they could put red/white/blue all over this maple leaf of motorsports
tl;dr the ford gt is canadian
>>15304882
Whatever makes you feel better without actual facts
>>15304856
Cool. No warranty (7 years on those cars) + not original owner = huge hit to value.

Fact: Ford GT placed 18 overall after they got slapped with BOP adjustments.
>>15304988
The BOP adjustments were in fords favor dumbass
>>15304980
That car is not being sold by a Ferrari dealer. You cannot get a warranty on that car. It was purchased by someone/some entity and is being resold. It does not matter if it's brand new in the wrapper not even PDI'd condition, it's a used car in the eyes of any Ferrari buyer.
>>15304995
yeah, I'm sure the Ford team just loved that extra ballast and boost reduction
>>15304988
what in class after BOP adjustments though :^)
Also the 2nd place Ferrari got hit with the hardest BOP for cheating
>>15305002
He means everyone got penalties and restrictions and Ford got less than the competition.
>>15305011
>implying
The Corvettes were almost back to their initial spec by race start and still sucked ass.
ITT: Ferrari fangirls assmad they lost a V6
>>15304997
please, prove your point
i showed you a ferrari 488 under 300k, two of them actually
so you guys show me where you can't warranty a ferrari that doesn't come from a ferrari dealer
(when they all come with 3 year warranties regardless of who you buy it through, but ferrari will not honor their EXTENDED warranty if you don't sell/buy it from their dealer)
>>15305018
This morning, the ACO tried to put things back in order by limiting the boost in the Ford GT's twin-turbo V6 and adding 11 pounds of ballast. Ferrari was also given extra weight but allowed more fuel capacity. The Corvette and Aston Martin teams were both given breaks on their air restrictors, which will allow their engines to make more power. Both Ford and Porsche also received extra fuel capacity.
Corvette and Aston Martin were given more power while Ford and Ferrari had to dial it back. Aston Martin was able to hold their own, what is GMs excuse??
>>15305045
after Balance of Performance adjustments were required by the sanctioning officials, the winners of the 2015 24 Hours of LeMans race went from being the quickest car in the class at the pre-LeMans practice session to being the slowest cars in the class during the first session of official LeMans qualifying.

Either way, there is no point. You posted some used cars. If you want to compare them to what used Ford GTs go for in the near future it may be relevant I suppose, not sure what you are trying to prove though. This poster

Correctly noted that every 488 being delivered at the moment is over $300k. The only cars that have been delivered so far are to people that are already regular customers or willing to buy fully loaded ones, and 99% of regulars are not getting 0 option cars.

The only good thing about this was weebs getting totally blow the fuck out and Toyota being ridiculed worldwide. Thats what you get for trusting gooks.
>>15305185
Ford is bringing the GT500 back with a TT V8 Ecoboost. Holy Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
>>15305185
Rumors are saying there is going to be a crate Ford GT engine. I don't doubt them especially considering this is coming from a company that has been kicking ass as of late. I mean Ford has promised 12 new performance cars from 2014-2020. They've already delivered 5, which are the Ford GT, Shelby GT350R, Shelby GT350, Focus RS and Ford Raptor. Up next is supposed to be the Ford RS500 and Ford Shelby GT500.
>>15305198

Racer.com's guy that they had covering Le Mans this year wrote a long article about it, but Ford's trying to deny that they did anything and sent the site a Cease & Desist to get the article pulled:
http://www.racer.com/more/viewpoints/item/131122-pruett-ugly-americans
>>15319473
So? No evidence?
>>15319473
Usually company's send Cease & Desist letter if you make stuff up and slander the company reputation with lies. Not because you wrote an article that shits on them. You can ignore it if it's not vaild, but judging by the fact that the article is gone I would guess that he was just full of shit.
>>15319530
When I PM'ed the author on Twitter, the response I got was that he had watched it go down and that Ford were trying to find who the fuck did it, because the highest-ups of the company were mortified that one of their suits would do something like that.
Also, the team running the Fords didn't do anything; It was Ford themselves that tried to intervene.

No, it doesn't. Ford said they're creating 12 NEW performance vehicles in 2014. Pre-existing cars don't count. So far only 5 have been made. We still have 7 more to go and the next rumored car coming is the GT500.
