Ford signs former Audi drivers to expanded Mustang GT3 works roster
After the end of Audi’s successful GT programme, Mies and Vervisch will join a strong lineup of drivers for Ford’s assault on the IMSA Sportscar Championship’s GTD Pro class. The lineup also includes Rockenfeller, Tincknell, Hand, Muller, Olsen, Barker, and Priaulx. Ford is celebrating Mustang’s 60th anniversary and aims to take Mustang racing globally. Mies will team up with Rockefeller and Tincknell, while Vervisch partners Muller and Hand for the Daytona 24 Hours debut. Priaulx’s role is still to be announced, but Multimatic suggests he will act as a “super sub”. In addition to the WEC and GT World Challenge Europe, Ford will also compete in the Dubai 24 Hours and GT World Challenge America.
