NEWS: ---- (Speedcafe) Ford teams will race Mustangs next year (yes I know it won't be anything like the road car except for shape & image) Ford has announced that the Mustang will return to the top level of Australian motorsport next season. The Blue Oval has today confirmed that DJR Team Penske and Tickford Racing will campaign racegoing versions of the coupe in the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship in 2019. Ford teams have run the FGX Falcon since 2015, even though the road car went out of production when Ford closed local manufacturing in October 2016. The move to enter Two-Door Mustang has been allowed by the adoption of Supercars’ Gen 2 regulations. It will be a V8, not a twin-turbo V6 !
