Featuring the Ford Mustang GTP in the latest Vintage Motorsport issue was always our plan, but it now feels especially fitting after the loss of its designer, Bob Riley. Seeing the restored Mustang GTP today brings a sense of nostalgia and appreciation for its racing legacy during the brief period of 1983-’84. It’s a must-see and must-hear experience for any motorsport enthusiast, offering a glimpse into the skill and precision of drivers like Rahal, Ludwig, and others who raced it in its prime. The story also sheds light on lesser-known talents like Davy Jones, whose impressive career and potential deserve more recognition in motorsport history. The issue also pays tribute to Greg Moore, highlighting his remarkable career that ended tragically. Lastly, there’s a focus on the forgotten period in grand prix racing before Formula 1’s World Championship, offering a fascinating insight into the post-World War II era and the emergence of legendary drivers like Fangio and Ascari.
