Recent publicity on the new Ford GT has
brought the GT40 to the attention of a whole new generation - and the GT40 Enthusiasts club
is enjoying an upsurge of interest in its activities. The original Ford GT
series of the 1960s, generally known as the GT40, is unarguably both one of
the most beautiful sports racers in history as well as being one of the most
successful. It is hardly surprising that it has maintained a near
fanatical following and subsequently
spawned a thriving replica market.The GT40 Enthusiasts club is run for anyone who is passionate about the GT40. We even have original GT40's, and virtually every type of replica ever produced. We have members in Europe, North America and Australasia, and welcome new ones from every continent and country where GT40's are loved and respected. The club itself is dedicated to every aspect relating to the GT40. Original cars, replicas, racing events, social events, scale models, literature - you name it. We also produce a much sought after quarterly magazine, Fortyfication, which runs to some 30 or more pages of news, reviews, technical articles and other interesting content. We organise regular events and meetings, including the now famous, Annual Le Mans pilgrimage.
Even this world famous course has taken on a renaissance with the amazing Le
Mans Classic meetings. Brooklands Motorsport Day 2003
The club offers a great quarterly magazine, Fortyfication, and events throughout the year. We are regular attendees at all major car events, and often have a stand. Over the years, members have been invited to run their cars in the Le Mans parade, and regularly exhibit at Ford events.
