Nice. There was a silver Piloti-sponsored one at the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. It sounded narrrrrrsty.

3

4

Can't wait to see this bad boy in person tomorrow afternoon.

5

GTR?





That doesnt look like the new NISSAN





what?

6

yeehaw!



let's see it hook slide and break traction!

7

AHH I thought this was a new Formula D car for a second there!

I forgot that falken actually does other forms of racing too lol

8

Crap, i saw falken and GT-R and got all happy. But it turned out be a ford.

9

Take off that GT Wing. Go Wangan style....

10

Deceiving title that's just plain wrong, it's a Ford GT not GT-R.

11

I think the -R stands for the racing designation. I'm assuming the team calls it this.

12

wow that is nice....

13

correct, the R designation is for the race-car

14

GT-R stands for can't think of anything other than what's already been done

15

Wow! so when are they gonna get one of these to Gettin Jr.?

16

So Awesome. Can't wait to see more!

17

Yep the R is for Race just like Corvette C6R that also runs ALMS, can't wait to see it in action.

18

Robertson Racing has been runnin' one all year..nuttin' new....

19

Thank you america for making one good car and for making it not 20 feet off the ground

i think it would look cooler if they had Graphtech do the graphics, I think they rushed it because the decal placement doesnt look perfect to me. I wish teams in ALMS would put a bit more effort into their decal placement. if so, then all teams would look as good as the Porsche Flying Lizard team.



Not a huge fan of those blue wheels, they should have been lightweight 1pc WHITE powdercoated wheels, to adhere to the classic Falken Motorsports themed livery. Too bad I wasn't at this race to pull some sick photos of the car...



I agree it would be cool to see JR do a demo with this car! But I dunno if the Ford GT is ready for Gittin! hahah

21

actually go the other way aaround on the wheels... the rest of team falken should run those blue faced wheels!

22

well just to let you all know the car was bumped and thrown off track at limerock . I think it was just minor body damage

23

The car looks and sounds great in person. Good luck to the Black Swan team for the rest of the season.
