I think those are the Ford GT's that use the race in the ALMS right? I was right there when one of them got T-boned heavily at road Atlanta at turn 1 a few years ago... I wander if its the same car...

Yes they are. That's David and Andrea Robertson... the same couple that owned the team when it ran in the ALMS. Though they weren't all that great of drivers, they are really nice people. I met them several times when they were still in the ALMS. They basically spent their life savings to run them for the few years they did. When they finished on the podium at Le Mans, they knew that was their only shot. They ran a few more races until the money dried up the next season, but they still race them in "vintage" events from time to time.
