Ford Performance received an “erratum” fix from the FIA for its new Mustang GT3 ahead of the FIA WEC weekend at Spa and IMSA weekend at Laguna Seca. The changes address issues with the car’s boot lid and diffuser becoming loose or damaged during races since its debut in January. These modifications were approved as an official “out-of-cycle” homologation extension signed off by the FIA last weekend. Kevin Groot, Ford’s global sportscar racing program manager, emphasized the importance of these changes before the Mustang’s Le Mans debut. The improvements include new latches for the boot lid to prevent airflow disruptions and added mounting points for the diffuser to enhance stability during races. Both fixes were implemented in time for the recent WEC and IMSA races following extensive development and testing by Ford and Multimatic.
