Ken Block To Ford GT: Why No Handbrake?
Ken Block To Ford GT: Why No Handbrake?-July 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:36

Ford showed off its brand spanking new GT race car to professional hoons Ken Block and Vaughan Gittin Jr. at SEMA. What do a rally driver and a drifter think of the car Ford wants to take to Le Mans? Erm, for one, there’s no handbrake. (And where’s the V8?)

Anyone who’s ever done some road racing (and/or has their handbrake sitting in a random box in their living room) knows that a handbrake in a road racing car is a fun way to get hot brakes to fuse together if you accidentally yank that sucker after a long, brake-punishing run.

This, of course, is why my LeMons car’s handbrake is in a box in my living room.

Never mind that, though. I think Block and Gittin stumbled upon a great idea there. This should be the next . This right here.

Add a handbrake, Ford, and let these two have at it in the new Ford GT. The Internet demands it.
