The first portion of the 2019 Le Mans 24 Hours entry list was revealed on Monday, February 11, and there’s something peculiar about it.The Texan ran an ex-factory SRT Viper in 2015, then a Murphy Prototypes-run ORECA LMP2 in 2016, a Riley Multimatic LMP2 car in 2017, and a Risi Competizione Ferrari in GT Am last year. The GT is in its second edition, the first being a closer tribute to the legendary Le Mans dominating GT40 with V8 power and the current model sporting a turbo V6. American Ford dealer Ben Keating is the first to get his hands on a private GT for the Le Mans 24 Hours, which is run with support from its factory outfit next door.
