Ford GT GTE

Mid-engined · Twin-turbo V6 · Downforce 3/5

A mid-engined GTE car with its twin-turbo V6 behind the cockpit and more aero than a GT4. Stable when you are patient; the turbo torque asks for care on exit.

Settle the nose, rotate once, then feed boost as the wheel opens.

Symptoms this car reads differently

Pushes on entry
Front-engine push if you arrive too hot. Trail carefully rather than hoping.
Snaps on exit
Turbo torque. Build with the steering opening.
Falls off over the stint
Rear tyre life on long runs. Tidy exits.
