Ford will take on the international GT scene from 2024 onwards with a GT3 and GT4 versions of its seventh-generation Mustang.
As part of the customer programme, Ford Performance is set to have a pool of 'factory' drivers that can be farmed out to teams for those major GT events and even season-long programmes. That Supercars talent could prove particularly useful when it comes to fighting for a Mustang victory at the Bathurst 12 Hour.
Nick Percat has Bathurst 12 Hour experience as does Dick Johnson Racing's Will Davison, Grove Racing's David Reynolds, and Tickford's Cam Waters. However the timing of the customer GT programme is still up in the air, as outlined by Rushbrook in a subsequent briefing with Australian media.
