Inkwenkwezi yochungechunge lweGymkhana - isiqendu se-10 sisendleleni - kwaye omnye wabaqhubi beNtshatsheli yeHlabathi yeRalicrosse, uKen Block ufana nentlanzi emanzini kulawulo lweFord Focus RS RX yakhe kunye neFord Mustang V8, egama linguHoonicorn V2. Kodwa kule mpelaveki, umceli mngeni wawuhlukile: thatha ukhenketho kwisekethe yaseLa Sarthe ngevili leFord GT.
Ngaphandle kwendawo yabo yokuhlala yendalo, umkhweli waseMelika unokufumana indawo epheleleyo yogqatso olukhulu lonyamezelo kwihlabathi. UKen Block uvumile ukuba wothuswa kukungagungqi kwabaqhubi kulo lonke ugqatso:
“Kwimidyarho endiyibalekayo, ixesha elininzi ndikwinqwelo-mafutha yimizuzu engama-30. Ngoko ke, nakwisiganeko esithatha iintsuku ezintathu, imidyarho imfutshane kakhulu. Andikwazi ukucinga ukuba ndisemotweni ixesha elingaphezu kweeyure ezimbini. Lixesha elide kum.”
Ngokumenywa kweFord Performance, umqhubi wahlala emva kwevili leFord GT (iyunithi yangaphambi kokuveliswa) waza wagqiba imijikelo emithathu epheleleyo kwisekethe yaseLa Sarthe. Nangona ebethintelwe ukuya kuma-90 km/h ngumbutho, oku akuzange kumthintele umqhubi wenqwelo-moya ekubeni afikelele kwisantya esingaphezu kwama-200 km/h...
Ukuqhuba okokuqala kwiFord GT kumdyarho!
Iiyure ezingama-24 zeLe Mans zisanda kuqala! Ngaphambili namhlanje, nangona kunjalo, i-Ford ilungiselele ukuba ndithathe imijikelo embalwa kwi-racetrack kwimoto yesitrato ye-Ford GT. Ewe, bendiqala ukuphuma emgceni namhlanje! Yayingamava amahle kakhulu ukukwazi ukuqhuba le sekethe kwi-GT kwaye ndibe nayo yonke into kum. Enkosi kwakhona, Ford, ndiyayibulela kakhulu. Kwaye uhambe njengesihogo, abaqhubi beFord GT! (Btw, ungacula naphi na emhlabeni nge-www.FordPerformance.tv)
