  • It's Ford vs Ferrari vs Mazda vs Nissan at the 1990 IMSA GTO event at Mid-Ohio, and in GTU, it's Dodge and Nissan and Mazda and more for the 250km race around one of sports car's most popular stops on the calendar. The rare appearance of the 600hp Ferrari France F40 is a special treat all by itself.

    The cars and the commercials are so nostalgic. Great example of how things have changed so much. Kinda similar to how people try to compare Lebron to Jordan in the NBA. You can't, the rules, training, vitamins and nutrients for health and focus, all that stuff was way different than compared to today. So amazing to see how much things cost as well back then. Shows how much more limits we dealt with and the lack of safety compared to today as well. Love the F40 but it doesn't compare to today's Ferrari's ;).
