Oprah at it again, gives car away on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Oprah Winfrey loves giving away cars. Not only has she given Pontiac G6 sedans and Volkswagen Beetle retro-mobiles to everyone in the audience of her past show, but the other night on Jimmy Kimmel Live! she gave another car away to one lucky audience member, while yelling her now-famous line: "You get a car!"
Although the acting of Oprah and Jimmy Kimmel was obviously staged for this giveaway, the reaction from the woman in the audience was genuine shock as she found out that she had just won a new Ford Fusion Energi. Congrats!
Not to take away from what Oprah and Jimmy pulled off, but our cynical sides have to wonder if there isn't more than just a little coincidence that this giveaway took place on the same day that Ford announced a fuel economy reduction for the C-Max hybrid. You be the judge... Scroll down to watch the short clip from the episode.

Here's where you can see the Ford GT race in 2016

The vast majority of us will never get to drive the new Ford GT. Racing fans can, however, look forward to watching it race on tracks around the world. And with parallel entries in both the IMSA United SportsCar Championship and the FIA World Endurance Championship, Dearborn's new supercar will have a very busy schedule. So no matter where you live across the United States or around the world, chances are it'll be racing at a track near you. Chip Ganassi Racing will be campaigning the Ford GT here in America starting off in Florida at Daytona, then at Sebring. From there the circus crosses to the opposite coast to hit Long Beach and Laguna Seca in Florida, then heads north to Watkins Glen in upstate New York, Mosport in Canada, Lime Rock in Connecticut, and Road America in Wisconsin. Then it's down south again to VIR in Virginia, the Circuit of the Americas in Texas, and Road Atlanta in Georgia. Meanwhile overseas, Ganassi will be teaming up with Multimatic to field the new in the WEC that kicks off at Silvestone. Then it's off to Spa before the headline event at Le Mans. The Nurburgring is next, followed by Mexico and Austin, before heading over to Asia for races in Japan, Shanghai, and Bahrain. Drum up your level of excitement with the video below, featuring the big man Chip Ganassi himself and footage of the competition-spec Ford GT lapping Mosport. Related Video:
