Story summary
  • The Hot Wheels Ford GT40 ran for five days, one hour, ten minutes and forty-two seconds in a YouTube livestream.
  • Using a side-mounted belt-sander dyno, the car reached 111 mph and logged 13,549 scale miles before the front wheels eroded and locked up.
  • The wheel failure deposited microplastic residue on the fenders, mimicking wear in real endurance races.
