That's cool! I actually like the Ford GT V6 sounds. By far the best turbo engine sound in the modern sport car era. Nowhere near as muted as others. Sounds like a throaty Group C era machine or a Group B rally car.
I shrugged off the Ford idea when Zak Brown made a strong hint a while ago about working with a "historic partner" in LMDh. I immediately thought of CanAm McLaren Chevrolet, then McLaren F1 BMW (both not happening in LMDh) and then Ford, but it seems too far fetched.

Apparently the P2 tub integration/packaging of that engine was a non-starter.
