Strength Through Technology.

UPDATE: It was the race that had an extra chapter, which we were not expecting. The #65 Mustang didn’t pass post-race Tech, in all likeliness due to damage received during the race. We won’t know exactly what happened until we do our own forensic inspection of the Mustang when we get back to our race shop. Sorry folks.

————————————————————-

It was the race that had everything.

🥵 Soaring temperatures
🌧️ Biblical rain
💥 Crashes
⚠️ Many, many caution periods
🫠 Did we mention the heat?

Anyone who made it to the end of the 6 Hours of Watkins Glen deserves a trophy.

We got one! 🏆

A brilliant race from the #65 crew secured P3, which when you consider they started from “P-Last” was an amazing effort.

The #64 crew pushed just as hard but it wasn’t their day today, finishing seventh at the flag.

It’s time for us to do a quick pack up and then head out for a much needed beer. Cheers everyone! 🍻 ...

GREEN HEAVEN! 💚

Congratulations to HRT and Ford Performance on winning the SP9 PROAM class of one of the toughest endurance races in the world: the Nürburgring 24 Hours.

The #65 Mustang GT3, driven by David Schumacher, Dennis Fetzer, Jusuf Owega and Salman Owega, took the chequered flag in fourth place overall, an astounding result considering the number of PRO class line ups at the ‘Ring.

What a debut! ...

Ford Multimatic Motorsports is leaving the city behind and heading for Watkins Glen this weekend for the next round of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.

Fresh from their win in Detroit, Rocky and Seb are keen to keep the momentum going at The Glen.

@sebastianpriaulx: “I’m still buzzing about Detroit! It was a great effort from the whole team and so good for me and Mike to get our first win together. Watkins Glen is a tough place to race but it should be a good track for the Mustang so we’re going in with good confidence and keeping our eyes on the prize; that is the championship.”

Hot on the heels of the #64 Mustang is the Daytona-winning #65. Here’s what @chrismies has to say about the track: “It’s fast, it’s flowing and it has a lot of grip; Watkins Glen is a cool track. We tested there straight after Detroit and the Mustang felt good. After some bad luck for us at the last round, it’s important for us to get a good result this weekend.”

Another #LeMans24 in the books for the Mustang GT3 🐎

After losing the #88 Mustang just a few hours into the race, all of the focus and the expectation fell on the #77 and on the shoulders of the @protoncompetition team and the drivers: @benbarkermsport @bentuckracing @bernardorsousa

It was a long, hard slog but they stuck it out and brought the Mustang home in ninth place.

Bravo, team. Bravo 🫶 ...
