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;
