INTRODUCTION

Since the launch of Legends you’ve all been racing and restoring some of the most Iconic cars from history. Now it’s time to get your hands on another legend: The Ford GT40 MKII.

FORD GT40 MKII



The Ford GT40 MKII was designed, engineered and built purely for racing. British engineering meets American power - it’s the perfect partnership. It was built for one thing: to win at the Le Mans 24 Hour race, a feat it famously achieved in 1966. Winning at Le Mans meant everything to a car manufacturer; “Win on Sunday, sell on Monday” was the motto. 50 years after the GT40 MKII triumphed at Le Mans, Ford returned with the Ford GT to win again at Le Mans in 2016.

*Correction update* in text below (20.02.19): Following the publishing of this Performance Ford Dev Blog we identified some vital information missing regarding the purchase cost of the Ford GT40 MKII. The Ford GT40 MKII will be available for Cash, as well as Gold. The blog has now been updated with the correct information below. We apologise for the error published yesterday and will work hard to ensure future comms remain accurate.



Accompanying the Ford GT40 in the update will be a limited edition Ford GT ‘66 Heritage Edition car which will also be available through rare imports and gold during events.





EVENT FORMAT



Join Izzy as you race to unlock, and restore, the Ford GT40 MKII. Designated “Performance Ford”, these series of events will require you to collect and upgrade a range of Ford manufactured cars.

To be part of the Performance Ford events you’ll first need to complete the Legends Restoration Rush (Legends Chapter 2) found in the Legends area of the map. If you’ve already completed Restoration Rush, great work; you’ll be granted access right away!

Performance Ford

Performance Ford was built to celebrate the heritage of the automobile giant, Ford. From Tier 1 to 5 you’ll collect and race the ultimate Ford collection across a 100 race event. If you’ve got the cars, and the talent, you’ll unlock the right to buy the Ford GT40 MKII in the Legends dealership, along with the Ford Heritage Cup.

To complete the Performance Ford event you’ll need to own the following cars, which are all available for in-game currency in the dealership when the Performance Ford events are active.

Ford Mustang Boss 302

Ford F-150 SVT Raptor

Ford Mustang GT Premium

Ford Shelby GT350R

Ford GT



But it does not stop there. Once you’ve unlocked and purchased the Ford GT40 MKII the journey continues.

Ford Heritage Cup

A legend and its modern relation racing side by side. Together, race the Ford GT40 MKII and Ford GT to unlock exclusive rewards in this 50 race event. You’ll need to restore the Ford GT40 MKII before you’ll be able to finish off this event.

Ford Restoration Cup

Push your Ford GT to the limit in this 30 Race Milestone event to win up to 10,000 rare Ford GT40 MKII Restoration Parts.

GT40 SHOWDOWN

During the launch of the Performance Ford events we’ll run a limited time leaderboard event called the GT40 Showdown. The event is ONLY available during the launch to challenge the best of you to unlock, upgrade and compete in becoming the #1 fastest racer driving the Ford GT40 MKII.

EVENT ROTATION

Some of you might be thinking that this is too much. Do not fear, this is NOT a once in a lifetime opportunity. We’re introducing a new rotating event mechanic that allows all our players to unlock the Ford GT40 MKII as quickly, or slowly, as you like without losing your event progression. During each two week Crew Championship season the Performance Ford series will rotate twice to allow you to pick up where you left off. If you have any feedback on this, please do let us know as we would love to hear your thoughts.

UNLOCKING THE GT40 MKII

On completing the Performance Ford event the GT40 MKII will unlock inside the Legends garage for you to purchase for Cash and Gold. Before you can pick up this legend you’ll need to ensure you have a space in your Legends garage, but if not you’ll be able to pick it up at any time.

SUMMARY

Everybody on CSR2 is excited to bring you these events and proud to introduce the Ford GT40 MKII into the CSR2 family. As always if you have any suggestions or feedback please do let us know on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.
