Ford GT40 Race Car [Premium] 1969

[NART512]

History:
This is one of the most deserving cars for a premium upgrade. The #6 Gulf GT40 or chassis GT40p/1075 won Le Mans two years in a row (1968, 1969). It was able to win in 1968 because of a rule change on engine capacity. In 1969 it was able to win because the engines in the Porsche 917s broke, and the 908s break pads were heavily wearing at the end. I also think this car is the only 20,000,000 credit car that isn't premium.

The funny thing is that this is the only car on GT that I really DON'T want to be upgraded to premium. I actually find the PS2 graphics really nostalgic, since this car has been a major part of my GranTurismo experience since I was about seven...

A premium GT40 already exists in GT6, but it needs it's Gulf sponsored companion as well.

I think we really need a GT40 race car base model - these were raced by many privateer teams in a wide range of liveries - and still are in historic events. The Gulf livery is the most iconic and most famous, but if we could choose a livery and race number then racing these could be very popular.

Why this Classic historical Ford have only 42 Likes!? That's not acceptable for something like this...!

If you want to see the GT40 in action, here's a video from the Le Mans Legends race earlier this year.

Race starts at 11:40

PD it is time to upgrade this historical and legendary car, it is now available in assetto corsa and this car was the main reason I bought the DLC but strangely enough GT sound sample of the car is better IMO.

All they need to do to make this premium is to take the road car, race up the interior a little and then add a Gulf livery to it.
