Just watched this, holy cow! I have a new sense of respect for Max and how his mind works while driving. Definitely a must watch! Too bad they won't have v8's next year! Boooooooooo

The brake discs were glowing as they pull back in at 35:20
MAX certainly wasn't playing around on those laps.

Certainly MAX would have gone quicker without the passenger

Should have yanked him out of the car half way through...

Would have gone 5 seconds quicker then.

Max: I need to speak to them about having one of these (Mustang).

He's in a RB next year.

815hp V8 5.2L engine, DCT transmission, semi-active suspension, carbon fibre body with drag reduction system thats aiming for a sub-7 minute 'Ring lap time

No wonder MAX wants one.

We'd have no problem looking like MAX's passenger there MP-B, only with big grins on our faces..if only it would happen

M5Rick · 07-31-2025, 08:06 AM

Some 90hp short of the Mustang but the resurrected 'Dodge' Challenger 6.2L V8 (remember Kowalski ala Vanishing Point) is a more realistic proposition for joe public as the Mustang GTD would only be for a selected few only.

Pauly Wauly · 07-31-2025, 08:31 AM

I wish Chris Harris didn`t talk so much during the laps because he kept breaking Max concentration.

I thought the same thing. I wanted to watch Max, not the other guy.

Chris Harris said, "what is effectively a tank", and "it's big" and "to control the mass" - all the while their seats were bending and moving around at the shoulders. What was Chris trying to say? This could've been done with a Ford GT - but it wasn't. Now that the EU/USA trade deal has been done, regular Mustangs and Corvettes will begin showing up in the EU at much lower prices... This video is Ford's 'calling card' for EU consumers, but Max sure was hustling the GTD - and he was taking no prisoners.

Strange ...It looks like the GTD has no ceramic brake discs/rotors like the 992 Turbo-S ?

This was a great video and wonderful to watch Mr. Harris nearly poop himself while Max was driving.
