The inaugural season of the new Ford Mustang GT3 has not fully met expectations so far. Despite flashes of speed and some decent results, there weren’t any real bright spots overall. However, during the Michelin GT Challenge at VIR, the program seemed to turn a corner. The Mustangs showed good pace, executed well, and produced results, with two GTD PRO cars qualifying third and fourth. Giammarco Levorato captured the pole for GTD, but although they didn’t win, the PRO cars finished second and fourth, earning their first podium. Harry Tincknell noted the continuous improvement of the Mustang and expressed pride in the team’s progress and determination to achieve more. Joey Hand and Dirk Mueller also executed well, focusing on details like excellent pit stops to secure a strong finish. Overall, the recent success at VIR marked a significant step forward for the Ford Mustang GT3 program, signaling the team’s potential for future victories.
