RUNNING HOT! Racing My Ford GT at the US F1 Grand Prix Track

My Ford GT is here at Circuit of the Americas! I've shipped it from the UK to kick start a tour right here at the home of the United States F1, and with the GT1 Sports Club in town, it's the perfect opportunity to get out on track with Hypercar Invitational. What an experience, let's go!
Having visited COTA with my AMG GT Black Series in 2022, it was always a plan to get back here with the GT, however with insane Texas temperatures at play, I knew we would run into some potential for overheating issues, and unfortunately that's exactly what happens. Regardless, it's a truly insane place to be driving and really stretching the legs of a permanent Shmeemobile.
The GT1 Sports Club by Curbstone events run around the GT World Challenge series, and this is the first time out in the US, with the support of Hypercar Invitational and The Exotics Network. In the paddock we're in an extraordinary line-up that also features Fastrrr's new Apollo IE and Pagani Zonda Revolucion, a Koenigsegg Regera, McLaren Senna, Pagani Huayra BC, McLaren P1, two Bugatti Chiron Super Sports and more.
After some fast laps at COTA, the next plan is a parade and photo line-up, with the most insane view as all the hypercars take position on the straight. What a crazy thing to be part of, what a line-up, and what an experience to push my Ford GT out here at COTA - even if it struggles to get many laps down.
There are two reasons for this; the first is that the 2017/18 GTs have a different cooling system which was updated for 2019s onwards. The second is having the front plate over the intake which doesn't exactly help with air flow management, and while it could be removed that's also a bit of an operation.
A huge thanks goes to all involved;

Me too! The design of that car has a ton of airflow past the engine. Maybe a radiator and/or intercooler isn’t working as designed? I’ve done a track day with BMW M-Cars there in July with triple digit temps and they didn’t overheat.

It's a different cooling set up for racecars. Street cars are made that they can go slow. Race cars have to go fast all the time in order to stay cool.

@RustyBonnet 27 күн бұрын

What 2 laps at average speeds and it needs to cool down and it should get cooler on the straight as it has more airflow should it not? All the things that Tim mentions about hyper cars, like his Senna requiring shocks after a couple of thousand miles just makes me cringe. You understand why some are just collected and not driven.

💯 Agree! The first time I saw one of Tim’s videos, he was driving , or doing something with, his GT Black Series. (It was already Solar Beam Yellow) I immediately fell in love with that car and knew I had to have one. (I have a picture of an orange one as my Lock Screen on my phone. Dream car!) But when I looked up the information about them, I knew immediately it would never happen because of the price. A couple hundred grand out of my price range. But, I also learned there’s different models that I could afford. Well, about 4 weeks ago I bought a 2016 AMG GTS. And, I’m absolutely in love with it! A giant Black Series style wing has been ordered, and will be here in a few weeks. Lowering springs will be here tomorrow. Rims will be powder coated Satin Black in the next couple of weeks. Once that’s all here, I’ll be wrapping it in a proper super car color, Lime Green. (I’m a wrap installer for a living) Then it’ll be time to do down pipes and a tune. I freaking can’t wait! All because of Tim and his GT Black Series. If you have a dream, go chase it. The reward is amazing!

I'm surprised that GT reduced the power already at such relatively low temps (both the oil and coolant) for the track. Also, the car did not have any message to stop driving at full speed, just that it reduced the power, to stop the rising of the temps, so there was nothing broken.
