Jim Farley GT40 LeMans Classic
Ford is one of the world's largest auto manufacturers. Running the company is certainly a full-time job, but CEO Jim Farley still finds time for some extracurricular activities. However, therein lies a philosophical question. Is racing a legendary GT40 at a prestigious automotive event really extracurricular for the head of Ford Motor Company?
The event in question was the Le Mans Classic, which took place last weekend. Not only did the Blue Oval boss show up with a racing suit, he raced for three hours in several heats and finished second in his class. As for the GT40, that's his car and he's raced at Le Mans before, though this past weekend's performance was his best ever according to the Detroit Free Press.
