When you’re about to tackle Le Mans at the wheel of a Ford GT40, you don’t want to leave anything to chance.

With days to go before the 2025 Le Mans Classic, we catch up with Alex Brundle as he prepares to race at the epic circuit in one of its most legendary cars.

Watch the driver and F1 pundit put the GT40 through its paces at Silverstone while fine-tuning the brakes and balance for optimum performance on the straights, high-speed corners and chicanes of the full-length La Sarthe circuit.

In between sessions, Brundle takes some advice from Jackie Oliver, who recalls how he won the 1969 Le Mans 24 Hours at the wheel of a Ford GT40, and the braking technique that helped him do it.

On Brundle’s final test day before the heat of competition at one of historic racing’s premier events, the video also gives an in-depth look at exactly what set-up changes are made to find the car’s sweet spot.

Don’t miss the first video in the series, as the GT40 hits the rolling road to extract maximum power from its V8 engine.
