We have endeavored to be accurate but remember, we were not there to witness these events so we have to rely on what we find. In the end this website will never be finished, it will be constantly updated with new and more accurate information as we find it and as it is submitted to us.
Comments: Most pages will have a comments section, please use it but try and be helpful. All comments are moderated and no comment will ever be allowed to appear that is mean disrespectful just plain stupid or contains spam links. We do not mind links back to your website in your name unless it is a spam/ads site. No link will ever be allowed to appear that is not to a related website. Try it and your comment will simply be deleted.
Spelling errors: We try to see to it this does not happen but we, after all are only human. This means there no doubt will be a few. Please tell us about any such errors (PLEASE BE SPECIFIC) and they will be fixed. Please do not be evasive and say something such as “you must be an idiot because you have a spelling error on page such and such”. If you do this you will get a “SPELLING NAZI” award and you will not like the reply email you get.
Commerce: We do not engage in commerce, nothing here is for sale by us for monetary gain. This website is operated in a non-profit way. We are not an official non-profit corporation though. If some one wanted a front page banner we could arrange that on a trade out basis. Something like “you link to us from your front page and we will link to you”. Don’t ask for a banner if you do not intend to agree to something like this.
The cost to keep this website online is minimal and involves mostly time so we do not accept donations or seek advertising etc.
If you want to do something kind in return for enjoying this website then write something nice and submit it. We will publish it on this site. Another thing you could do is Link to this site or help us get links from other GT40 or auto racing related web sites. Write to the webmaster of any such site and suggest to them that they should link to this website using the live link text Ford GT40 or GT40 for sale or GT40 Photos. Anything like that will help us be found by more people using search engines.
Our goal is to be accessible by the public who is interested in the Ford GT, Ford GT40 or Replica GT40 cars.

Please be prepared to explain how/why/where you attained or took the photo. We will ask this of you not to be difficult but so we do not need to remove a photo unnecessarily. Just because you found a photo and published it on your website does not make you the copyright holder. The copyright holder is the person or company who took the photo.
