Ford has returned to GT racing for the first time since the remarkable Ford GT that raced in the WEC and IMSA from 2016 to 2019. This time, however, it has brought a completely different beast, based on the perennially popular Mustang, which has been built to the new GT3 regulations.
The 5.4-litre Coyote engine is prepared at M-Sport, the rest of the car by Multimatic, and there is a global race programme in place already, with Multimatic running the factory team in IMSA, and Proton Competition announced at Le Mans as a partner for the World Endurance Championship.
