The Le Mans: Ford is a Flashback Event in Real Racing 3. It gives players the chance to win the 2016 Ford GT Le Mans.
The Le Mans: Ford is part of Round 3, Season 4 of Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale Update (v13.0), and can be accessed through the Round Hub button on the Home tab.

Stage 01 
Stepping into the Ring

	“	Guess what, champ... 24 Hours of Le Mans is right around the corner! While this is exciting, the real news is that you've been chosen to drive one of the new Ford GT race cars!	”
		— Natalia, Agent

	“	And this is no ordinary Le Mans. This Le Mans is the 50th anniversary of Ford's first win in 1966, when they took the crown from Ferrari and forged a rivalry that stands even today.	”
		— Michael, Manager

	“	So you know what that means? That means this beautiful machine, the Ford GT, is going up against the equally amazing Ferrari 488 GTE. Michael, want to take the reigns and whip our racer here into shape?	”
		— Eric, Auto Engineer

		— Natalia, Agent

Stage 03 
Training Day

	“	Whilst you were galavanting around the world, I was hard at work watching you. Or rather, watching the competition. The Ferrari 488 GTE is fantastic! But there's nothing you can't beat with a little magic from me.	”

		— Eric, Auto Engineer

Stage 04 
Innovation

	“	Good to see you, sport. We're here at Spa to practice endurance driving. I used to race endurance events. Whilst it's been a while, the experience is still with me. Now it's time to pass it on to you. As an added treat, I've brought along some Le Mans Prototypes from 2015 - specialty cars built for endurance racing. I figure driving them will get to the heart of Le Mans - innovation and reliability.	”

	“	Very fine work today. Tomorrow is Le Mans - a big event, a full 24 hours. You'll have a co-driver, so you won't be behind the wheel the whole time, but you'll still need your rest.	”

Stage 05 
Le Mans Begins!

	“	And we're here! Welcome to la Sarthe for the 24 Hours of Le Mans! This is a huge event, so I'll be covering the media angle the whole way through, and making sure it goes off without a hitch.	”
		— Natalia, Agent

	“	I've got your back. With my skills, you're sure to have the smoothest ride out there. When you get into the pits, I'll get your oil changed, your brake pads replaced, and you'll be driving again in no time.	”
		— Eric, Auto Engineer

	“	But remember, this is an endurance event, so you'll be swapping in and out with your co-driver pretty regularly. We'll do our best to make sure you're in top form when it's your shift.	”

	“	It seems you've made it to where the real racers are. I thought you'd stay with the GTE-AM class where you belong, but I guess not. Shame you need to switch drivers. When you get back, I shall defeat you.	”

Things Go Crash in the Night

	“	You've missed quite a bit. But do not worry, there's still time to see me win.	”
