This year marks the 50th anniversary of when Ford rocked up at Le Mans with the GT40, and gave Ferrari a damn good kicking by scoring a spectacular one, two, three finish. What better way to celebrate than to turn up at la Sarthe, and once again give the competition a pasting? That’s exactly what Ford is hoping to do at the 24 Hours of Le Mans this year, with its new GT.

In an unusual move, the GT road car and the racing car have been developed simultaneously, and thanks to this new five-part documentary titled The Return, you can get a behind-the-scenes look at what led Ford to this point. Parts one to three are already here - make sure you keep an eye out for when we post parts four and five in the lead up to Le Mans.
