This Simeone Museum Event will Explore Development of the Ford GT. The program will feature three noted authorities on the marque: former driver for Shelby American and owner of the Lola, Allen Grant; author of Ford Racing Century and builder of the Kar-Kraft continuation Mk IVs, Mike Teske; and the author of the most comprehensive history of endurance racing, Time and Two Seats, Janos Wimpffen. Historian/photographer Harry Hurst (long-time friend of the Museum) will moderate.

I'm sure that many who are "in the know" are fully aware of this gathering, but for everyone else - here is the Museum's page for the Event:

These are the Museum's 2 cars:

"I don't know what the world may need, but a V8 engine's a good start for me" (from Teen Angst by the band "Cracker")
