We wanted to share some close-up car porn from the various race teams doing their final testing this weekend at the Roar Before the Rolex 24. Only a few more weeks until RedlineNorth will be on site in person covering the Rolex 24 at Daytona.
Everyone is entitled to a different opinion, but I’m most excited to see the brand new Ford GT race car fielded by Chip Ganassi Racing perform in the Rolex 24 Hours.
Multimatic, the manufacturer, is a privately held Canadian company who has been a global leader in automotive technology and component engineering since 1984. They’ve always provided an unwavering level of support for racing, and as a result, today, are responsible for building all the Chip Ganassi race cars and road cars for Ford, of which there are a total of 250 this year.
It’s pretty cool that a company with a relatively low profile can create such innovative and winning race car technology right in our own backyard.
I’ll be watching the Ford GT closely at the Roar Before the 24 test at Daytona from January 8-10. Sources says Ganassi is apparently going to LeMans with four of these cars in June as well – so no pressure :).
We are getting excited about hitting the road and attending the Rolex 24 at Daytona at the end of January. For the past 53 years, racing teams have descended on Daytona to test their stamina in the punishing 24-hour marathon race.
