Two years ago, Ford introduced the Mustang GT3 customer racing program, but the car struggled in its debut season. This year, at the 63rd Rolex 24 At Daytona, a new trio led by Christopher Mies secured Mustang GT3’s first win ever after a challenging first season. Veteran driver Mike Rockenfeller had doubts about their chances, but the factory-backed Mustangs surprised everyone by making it to the podium. Mies expressed his amazement at Ford’s remarkable turnaround and the team’s perseverance after facing initial challenges. The race saw intense battles, including a controversial incident involving the No. 4 Corvette and the No. 1 BMW, which stirred up drama in the closing minutes.
