The man is quite the racer…
Ford CEO Jim Farley won 2 races back to back last weekend using a 1966 Shelby Cobra. Once again, the man at the helm of the Blue Oval has shown he’s a true enthusiast and not just some suit. Flying to California, Farley participated in the Trans Am SpeedTour at Laguna Seca, which was organized by the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association. Yes, that’s a dream track for many and to be piloting a classic Shelby Cobra on it is almost too fantastic.

While Farley took first in his class in Group 6 on Saturday, he had to settle for second overall. Scott Borchetta, a music industry mogul from Nashville, took first overall with his 1969 Chevrolet Corvette. Thus, the Cobra vs Corvette rivalry continues today.
On Sunday, Farley won his class in the Endurance Series, placing third overall. Instead of racing with a partner, the man took on the event solo. He also had the oldest car in the race.
