Two-time Formula 1 champion bought a rare Ford GT in honor of Le Mans

Fernando Alonso has added a special Holman Moody Heritage Edition to his car collection. This is a low-production Ford GT dedicated to the Blue Oval’s triple victory in the 1966 Circuit of Sarthe Marathon. The hat-trick would not have been possible without the Holman & Moody team: before the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the team conducted eight days of testing, and the painstaking work brought results.

Fernando Alonso has his own success story at the 24 Hours of Le Mans: the Spanish athlete won twice while driving a Toyota. The racing driver also has two Formula 1 titles and two victories in the Monaco Grand Prix, so the only thing missing from the “Triple Crown” is success at the Indianapolis 500 Miles. Alonso did not highlight the purchase of the Ford GT Holman Moody Heritage Edition on social networks, although his acquaintance with another acquisition – the Aston Martin Valkyrie – was awarded a photo report.

However, the Spaniard has no connection with the “blue oval”, and being a factory pilot of Aston Martin F1, it is hardly possible to associate himself with other car brands under the terms of the contract. But in their free time, Formula 1 pilots are caught in Monaco driving different cars: Max Verstappen (Red Bull Honda) drove an Audi RS 6, Lando Norris (McLaren-Mercedes) piloted a Ferrari F40, and Lewis Hamilton was a Mercedes-AMG driver got into incidents while driving a Pagani Zonda.

During his long (one might even say two-stage) career in Royal Racing, Fernando Alonso himself became the co-author of several special versions of supercars. In 2012, the Ferrari 599 GTB was dedicated to the Spaniard, and in 2024, the athlete became the ideologist of the Aston Martin Valiant project.
