Motorsports provide a lot of outstanding moments. Quite a few stand out as stuff of legend, like Ford taking the fight to Porsche and Ferrari by bringing in a 1-2-3 finish at the 24h du Le Mans in 1966.
Ford will bring the fight again next year with their new GT supercar to compete in LM GTE Pro class. They will compete in both the FIA World Endurance Championship and TUDOR United SportsCar Championship with a two-team, four-car effort – operated by Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates.
We look forward to seeing the GT with it’s Carbon Fiber Chassis and Twin Turbo Ecoboost V6… We only wish it was they used the truly awesome flat plane crank V8 recently debuted in the GT350R.

The Build
We’ve been at work on our Skyline for a while now, so most of the larger hurdles had been out of the way well ahead of the competition. Aftermarket intake manifold? Check. Fuel Rail and 550cc injectors? Check. 400lph Fuel pump? On board. T66 Turbo and aftermarket exhaust manifold with custom down pipe? Where did you think we were spitting those flames from? [...]

Today March 8th 2015 marks International Women’s Day. Although we at A3 believe that a single day is not enough to mark the importance of woman’s contribution to the world, we’ve decided to make a tribute to a few of the prominent lady legends behind the wheel. Our collage display images of some of racing’s best, past and present.
