The Ford GTs to be outfitted in special liveries for the 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans

Ford has unveiled unique liveries destined for the Ford GTs fielded by Ford Chip Ganassi Team UK and Ford Chip Ganassi Team USA in the 87th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans on 15-16 June. The special designs celebrate the American marque’s success at the legendary race in the 1960s.

On Sunday at Test Day, the four Ford GTs competing in the LMGTE Pro class will make their first appearance in their new liveries, joined by a fifth Ford GT entered in LMGTE Am by the Keating Motorsports team.

The #66 Ford GT shared by Stefan Mücke, Olivier Pla and Billy Johnson will be painted black similar to the Ford GT40 driven by 1966 Le Mans winners Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon. The #67 of Andy Priaulx, Harry Tincknell and Jonathan Bomarito will recall the GT40 of 1967 winners Dan Gurney and A.J. Foyt. The #69 driven by Scott Dixon, Ryan Briscoe and Richard Westbrook was inspired by the Ford GT40 that finished second in the American marque’s hat trick at the 1966 24 Hours. The #68, LMGTE Pro winner in 2016, shared by Müller-Hand-Bourdais will sport its usual livery. Lastly, Keating Motorsports will enter a Ford GT driven by Ben Keating, Jeroen Bleekemolen and Felipe Fraga in the LMGTE Am class for the first time. The team has opted for the vibrant colours of its main sponsor, Wynn’s.
