Corner Lab

Ford GT GT2

Mid-engined · Naturally aspirated V8 · Downforce 2/5

A mid-engined Ford GT in GT2 trim: sharper than a front-engined rival of the era, still short of modern GT3 aero. Clean inputs and tyre care decide long runs.

Place it early, keep mid-corner load steady, then use the V8 honestly on exit.

Symptoms this car reads differently

Steps out on entry
Mid-engine yaw on an abrupt release. Soften it.
Snaps on exit
Open the wheel before asking for all the torque.
Falls off over the stint
Rear tyre life when exits are slides.
