Ford Performance Race Cars at Laguna Seca

WHAT:
This weekend, Ford Performance is celebrating competition with a display of high performance vehicles and first reunion of the eight Ford LM GTE Pro race cars, five years after the historic 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans victory.

The weekend will showcase iconic vintage Ford Mustangs such as the Shelby GT350, the 1970 Mustang Boss 302 Trans-Am raced by Parnelli Jones and George Follmer and the Shelby Trans Am Mustang. An original Ford GT40 will also take part in the event, along with the 1965 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe (CSX2286) known at the time as Carroll Shelby’s “secret weapon.” CSX2286 was built for the 1964 24 Hours of Le Mans and is the last of only six Daytona Coupes built. It will race on track alongside eight original Shelby Cobras.
