And with a squadron of the new Ford GT race cars ready to contest the world's most famous endurance race this weekend, Ford has gone all in making sure they're ready to take on Porsche, Audi, Toyota and the others.
To get the driver's prepped for the big race, Ford opened up its R&D Center in Concord, N.C., a place usually busy with NASCAR activity.
Check out this video. It's pretty intense.
