Ford GT GT1 by Matech in action: OnBoard, Accelerations, Fly Bys, Flames & V8 Sound!

Matech Concepts was a Swiss motorsport team which forged a strong relationship with Ford Racing, initially by distributing the FR500 racing variant of the Mustang in Europe. Their plan was to enter the GT racing scene and develop a race car based on the then-current Ford GT, initially as a GT3 class entry. The GT3 car made its debut in 2007 and showed instant pace claiming the overall FIA GT3 European Team Championship the following season.
Having shown a lot of competence, Matech announced that the team would step up their efforts in order to compete at the highest level of GT racing: the GT1 category. After some uncertainties Ford granted permission for Matech to construct a GT1 variant of the Ford GT supercar. There was a requisite that Ford Racing were to exclusively supply the engines through preferred “works” partner, Roush Yates.
2009 was Matech's first year and it was treated as a development phase. Their program started by modifying two GT3-type chassis to conform to GT1 regulations, fielding these in select races. The actual GT1 car was developed from scratch and unveiled at the beginning of the 2010 season. Displacement of the engine was increased up to 5.3-litre by Roush Yates resulting in around 600hp (restricted) and 640 Nm of torque. Power was transmitted via a six-speed, flat-shift transmission supplied by Xtrac.
For the 2010 FIA GT1 World Championship season four cars were built and fielded by two teams: Matech Competition and Marc VDS Racing Team. For the following season, Matech left the series which left Marc VDS running the four cars, two under the Marc VDS Racing Team name and the other two cars under the name of Belgian Racing.
The footage you see up here is from the 2022 Mugello Classic racing weekend by Peter Auto during which one of the only four Ford GT1 ever built was fielded in the Endurance Racing Legends series, which aims to bring together GTs and prototypes from the 1990s and 2000s. The car is now managed by Esprit Competition. The guys were also very kind to allow my friend Italiansupercarvideo and I to put an action camera and a portable audio recorder inside the cockpit of their car during the first practice session of the weekend. The car was driven by Philippe Scemama and by Le Mans winner Éric Hélary (who was behind the wheel during the onboard footage).

La era dorada es desde 1960 hasta 2010. Comentarios como el tuyo me los encuentro en videos de un monton de autos de distintas épocas. Y la mayoría solo lo dice por nostalgia!! La era dorada es de 1960, ya cuando europa se recupera de la guerra y las marcas empiezan a Mostar grandes avances tecnologícos ,motores espectaculares y gracias a reglamentos muy permisivos. Ojo tambien me encanta los autos de comienzo de siglo xx , no comienzo en la decada de los 50 la "era dorada" porque como dije ,los países europeos se estaban reconstruyendo al igual que las fábricas de las marcas y no sobraba dinero para desarrollar grandes autos desde para competir desde cero por eso se usaban tantos autos de antes de la guerra en los años 50. "1960 - 2010" era dorada del automovilismo 50 años donde las marcas mas prestigiosas y las mucho menos nos regalaron los autos motores y sonidos mas hermosos de la historia.
The Marc VDS Ford's are the first team i rooted for in GT racing and is ultimately what got me into gt's. I'll never forget it!
Big thanks for the video. The Matech GT1 is my absolute favorite racing car. The sound is so dreamlike, it's really cool to see the backfire in the rear-view mirror display. I feel at this point the development of how to operate a race car from the driver's perspective should have stopped, e.g. when the driver had even more activities to shift gears, plus no ABS and TK. So I found motorsport even more interesting.

I know this comment is 2 years old and I don't normally reply to comments that old...but I was at Sebring earlier this year for the IGT/SVRA weekend and saw one of the Robertson GTs rolling down the paddock to head to pre-grid for its session. First time seeing it in person and needless to say, I was in love.

@michaelallen2501

These cars are faster in a straight line than GT3 and can follow closer in corners because of the lack of aero compared to modern GT3. Modern GT3 is very close to DTM, which is boring as hell to watch lol. The most exciting formula for fans is low downforce racing. Brings the cars together on track and more closely resembles the passenger car cousins. GT1 > GT3.
