The Ford GT,
after running experimentally last year, now begins its first full racing season with its American debut
at the Daytona Continental. Forty-three cars,
29 from Europe and 14 from America, will start the 2,000-kilometer
Daytona Continental. So the GT40s show up at Daytona in 1965. Shelby's had less than two months
to turn these cars into winners. The cars move up tight behind the pace car for the running start. Number 77 Ferrari,
the fastest qualifier on the inside. Number 72 Ford GT, the second fastest
qualifier on the outside. And the race is on
