What a disappointment by the Ford GT. Beat by the much more affordable GTR and RS. The Ford is a purpose built race car.

That is shocking and disappointing, I thought a track is mainly where it would clearly shine especially considering its light weight and the advanced suspension.

Even road specs like 0-60, 0-100, and quarter mile are no quicker then a NSX yet it costs almost 3 times more and is a uncomfortable vehicle to daily drive. Where is the advantage with it having more power and being much lighter weight over many competitors.

I would not even consider the Ford GT if I where a billionnaire with a crazy car collection due to the fact that they only want "chosen ones", to drive their cars.
It may sound strange, but me and my familly have problems with those concept of "aryan superior type of humans" since the mid 40's of the past centuries. This wakes up very bad memories.

Yeah, the selection process for rare cars normally has to do with if you are going to drive it, social media activity, or if you owned one in the past, not who you are as a human being/race, etc.
