I thought a few people might be interested to see Ford's first GT500, a Mk1 Cortina. Originally sold in 1965, it was an homologation special for the Armstrong 500 mile race (Which became the Bathurst 1000) that required all entries to be exactly as per cars sold in the showroom, with a minimum of 250 cars sold.
The track is truly frightening back in 1965 and the safety gear is virtually non-existent, which makes for some decent racing. Gotta love the commentary too :)
