Ford’s iconic GT40 will be the featured marque at this summer’s 10th annual Kohler International Challenge with Brian Redman on the weekend of July 16-19 at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.
Also featured among the more than 1,000 entries in 10 race groups at the SVRA event will be the popular vintage Formula One cars of Historic Grand Prix. The four-day event will also host the Road & Track Concours d’Elegance on Friday evening, where racecars will be driven from the track and displayed along the streets of downtown Elkhart Lake for judging and spectator viewing.
Before being legislated out of existence by the FIA, the big Fords dominated endurance racing during the last half of the 1960s, scoring four consecutive wins at Le Mans, three straight at Sebring, and two in a row at Daytona. This domination peaked in 1966 when they swept the top three places at all three of those events.
Owners of GT40s who may be interested in taking part in this event should contact Road America for registration information by visiting the www.roadamerica.com or by calling (800) 365-7223.
