I use this car all the time for the 700PP LM. Very fitting, very easy race. I even use the Racing Manual Trans for the extra noises on shifts and so I can run a little higher power.
I love this car with a good circuit tune!! The only disappointment is that they made the fuel consumption more like a road car than a race car. Unless they fixed it, the last time I took it to WTC 700 Le Man I only got 3 laps on fuel map 6
Hi Mike. You mentioned the XJ13. I noticed you did a GT Sport tune for the car. Could you do a tune for the Jag, the Ferrari, AND the Ford (the Holy Trinity of GT7)? Please!!!!!
A bit of really cool history behind the Mk IV. The car was so dominant that during the night, Gurney had eased off a little to preserve his car, and Parkes came up behind in the second-place Ferrari to unlap himself. For several miles Parkes hounded the Ford, flashing his lights in Gurney's mirrors until an exasperated Gurney simply pulled over at Arnage corner and stopped on a grass verge. Parkes stopped behind him, and the two race leaders sat there in the dark, motionless. Finally, Parkes conceded his attempt at provoking a race with Gurney was not going to work and he pulled out and resumed the race, with Gurney following shortly after.
Another amusing story behind the Mk IV (and the GT40 Mk II before it): Carroll Shelby tasked his team with finding the lightest off-the-shelf small circular taillights to put on the car. The winning taillight donor was...the first generation Chevrolet Corvair. Yes kids, Ford's first two wins at Le Mans, the second one coming with an all-American team with two American Ford factory drivers, happened with Chevy parts...
It really is cool that all three of these contemporaries and rivals (well, would-have-been rivals if the Jag had actually raced) have been in multiple GT games now. Would be even cooler if they add the Chaparral 2F at some point to make it a foursome.
The Mk IV is one of my main choices for the 700PP LeMans event. I have the Focus RS, Mk I, MK IV, Daytona Coupe, 330 P4, 917K, C4 Vette, 2016 GT GT3, Z4 GT3, DBR9 GT3, F1 GT3, and AMG GT3 as my rotation for the 700 PP LeMan race and its funny that it is easiest in all the 50 year old machines. Really looking forward to seeing what the 250 GTO can do in the event.
Now that I have all 3 legends, I want the Ford GT40 Racecar, isn’t that the Mk2? But it’s not in the game, suppose I could buy the non Racecar and modify it, but wouldn’t the Racecar have much better specs? You know how you said about adding all those duplicates in one update, add the GT40 race car as well. Along with all the other duplicates, not just Skylines, Imprezas and Lancers.
When i used to do tokyo wtc600, before the nerf, this car was the one who gave the best times from the classic racing cars. It was, by order, markIV, xjr13, 917k, 330p4, a220 (non glitched)
i havent seen a model building weekly kit in over a decade. i used to see them in magazines and always wanted to start a subscription to build one but never got to. the one question i always wondered though is how long does it take to get everything and whats the cost? the fast track says 12 months to complete and seems to be £110 per month while the standard version will take 2 years and cost £55 per month if i understand right? those costs add up really quick looking at it but i might be wrong.
@@HSGAutomotive this is from the page i was looking at it says "5 assembly stages for £10.99 each stage" i was reading this section and it was throwing me off. it reads like you get 5 stages and each costs £10.99. while in my eyes it feels like it should be 5 stages for £10.99? thats what i assumed at least but it reads oddly to me. im completely unfamiliar with this so i might be reading too much into the wording.
@@HSGAutomotive i looked into it a little more and it seems like you can do 1 assembly pack per month and up to 5 if you want. i think it works out around £1100 in total to do the model. it has 110 stages and its costing £11 per stage.
Nah I don't think so. Its monthly and no one would build a kit over 110 months, lol. Parts one and two are already the entire front clamshell and front right wheel after all. But I'm not certain, could be wrong
@@HSGAutomotive it says in the FAQ "The Ford GT model is complete in 110 assembly stages (parts to build and magazines)." if it was 11 months and it was costing about £150 id jump straight in. i wonder is the 110 is a misprint that seems like a lot of stages.

My favorite livery by the way

This Color of this Car is Amazing !!!
Wo kann ich dieses Design herunterladen ?
All I’m saying is that this car does not like willow springs
Awww you look so cute
Thanks b :) x

To me, you're the Regular Car Reviews of the Gran Turismo cars

@@tomanderson6335 That would explain why that's the one element of the gt's design that's generic and unattractive at least.
And caught him, passed him and together with AJ Foyt won the race 🏁
Congrats on the sponsorship. 🔥
Same from here! Great kit from a great car.
Damn. You look NOTHING like what I had imagined. 😮
Hah, yeah I get that a lot 😆
I want to get the GT40 model car, but I don't like the idea of not getting it all at once.
As always, great review! But also, great idea to give the OK to this sponsor
It really is cool that all three of these contemporaries and rivals (well, would-have-been rivals if the Jag had actually raced) have been in multiple GT games now. Would be even cooler if they add the Chaparral 2F at some point to make it a foursome.
Been a fan of your content since the days of Gt Sport, cool to see the man behind the voice 👍☺
Can’t wait for the videos of you building the car!! Another great video as always

You should give the Pagani Zonda R a try, that car feels like cheating. I also love to use the XJ13 for that event.
love this channel, and this is literally the way to use an ads or sponsors, nice vid
Holy shit I need get one of those GT40 kits
Very nice sponsor! 👍🏾
I always pictured you as a 60 year old guy smoking a pipe......
Yeah I hear similar things 😆 sound like I collect model trains, look like I play drums for Amon Amarth or sum
Link is broken as of rn
same for me
Cheers for letting me know, odd as it works for me on and off. Changed now, should work fine

Before this review, I bought this car. Today, I bought the 330!
I loved this car since mu first time playing gt5
I want to know is that, are the spins and mistakes editted out in the gameplay?
Nope, lol. Where would the mistakes be? The timer is always there xD
@@HSGAutomotive hehe 😅
I bought this car in July for 5.15 million.
Lucky you I just got it for 6.75 mil
It must have cost you a lot of money! I'm happy for you :)

I haven't played in some time. The cars get dirty now?
No that is a custom livery to make it look dirty
@@best_bud1 This game was such a let down...
