The organisers of the Le Mans 24 Hours, the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO), have confirmed that all four Ford GTs have received a place on the prestigious entry list for the 2016 Le Mans 24 Hours, which takes place on June 18th to 19th.
Fifty years on from Ford's famous 1-2-3 outright victory at Le Mans, all four Ford Chip Ganassi Racing Ford GTs will compete in the GTE Pro class.
"It was great to see all four Ford GTs up there on the Le Mans entry list today," said Dave Pericak, Ford Performance Global Director. "Newcomers are by no means guaranteed an entry, whatever their history or ambitions, so we thank the ACO for giving Ford the opportunity for a four car assault in June."
"I'm very happy that we can run all four Ford GTs at Le Mans," said Chip Ganassi, owner of Ford Chip Ganassi Racing. "It will be a big challenge for us but one we are thrilled to undertake. We have prepared well and can't wait to get the Ford GTs onto the track there and show everyone what they can do."
