Michelin GTLM Insider – Ford
Michelin has teamed up with Sportscar365.com for a new collaboration which includes a series of features entitled “Michelin GTLM Insider” – focussing on the leading teams doing battle on MICHELIN tires in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The first feature on the new Ford GT was published today.
Ford executives, engineers, designers and managers have made thousands of decisions in creating the exciting new Ford GT that makes its competition debut at the Rolex 24 At Daytona.
One of their first decisions was to work with Michelin as their exclusive technical partner for both the Ford GT race cars and production cars.
“We understand how important tires are, especially at Le Mans, and so in one of our very first meetings, we asked Ford about tires,” said Mike Hull, managing director, Chip Ganassi Racing.
“Ford said, ‘We have already chosen Michelin,’ and given their record at Le Mans we were very happy to hear that.”
