AC Ford GT40 @ Monza 1966 - Thursday February 25th 2016

[Ryan]

#TBT! Throwback Thursday kicks off with two classics: the Cathedral of Speed and the mighty GT40

Hi RaceDepartment! Throwback Thursdays aim to spice up our Assetto Corsa races with a look to the past where barriers were trees and courage was aplenty. This week we run in one of history's most celebrated racing combatants. Dust off those H-shifters, get that clutch foot ready, and crank up the volume. It's going to be a fun ride!

Tis the trouble with mid-week racing. Sadly, we gotta make that paper. I'll be adjusting times over the next few weeks and see what works for people.

I gotchu homeboy! The Mk I GT40 is English after all(#RJFacts @R.J. O'Connell ). It'll be fun to see if you can show "the colonials" how to do it properly in the time honored classic fashion.
