Lego Ford gt race car goes on display in Le Mans

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Taking three weeks, 40,000 bricks, and a whole lot of patience – it’s the LEGO version of the Ford GT race car that will be raced at the Le Mans 24 Hours.

A third the size of the real thing, the LEGO version will go on display at Circuit de la Sarthe, in France, on 18-19 June, alongside a model of the classic #fordgt40 – a reminder that it is 50 years since that car scored a historic 1-2-3 at the legendary race track.

The LEGO Ford GT race car uses the 66 race number and details include the same green wing mirrors and screen top visor as the full-sized car.

Ford GT at Le Mans
In 2016 Ford Chip Ganassi #racing is running two #fordgts in the FIA World Endurance Championship and two more in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.

For Le Mans, all four cars will come together to compete, in front of an expected 200,000 spectators. The two WEC #fordgts will retain their 66 and 67 race numbers, while the IMSA cars become 68 and 69, celebrating Ford victories in 1966, 1967, 1968 and 1969.

What is the Le Mans 24 Hours?
The Le Mans 24 Hours race is the world’s oldest active sports car race in endurance #racing, held annually since 1923. Since 2012, the Le Mans 24 Hours has been a part of the FIA World Endurance Championship and this year it will be the third race of the series.
