Mustang Racing And Winning Around The World

Victory lane has become a familiar place for Mustang racing teams this season as the American muscle car continues to show both its power and performance on the track with wins in both the Grand-Am Koni Challenge Series and GT4 European Cup competition.

The Mustang FR500C has captured five wins and two pole positions in the first eight races of the Grand-Am Koni Challenge Series. The Ford Racing teams of Blackforest Motorsports, Hyper Sport and Rehagen Racing have all had their turn in the winner’s circle, including a victory in the season-opener at Daytona with the No. 5 team of Tom Nastasi and David Empringham.

“We’ve enjoyed success this season with the No. 5 Mustang winning races and the No. 4 getting a pole in Miami,” said Nastasi. “As a team, I feel like we’re getting better and gaining confidence all around and we’re working on trying to win a championship this season.” In any given Koni Challenge Series race, there are on average of 11 Mustangs competing in the GS class for Grand-Am, with two races seeing five Mustangs in the top 10 positions.

Co-drivers Joe Foster and Scott Maxwell have been fixtures at the top of race results and the point standings with their No. 55 Hyper Sport Mustang team, and currently stand second and fourth through eight races. “This has been a good season so far for our Hyper Sport race team with winning the pole in Daytona and the race at Mosport International,” said Foster. “I’ve been lucky enough to lead the points this season, but our team’s focus is staying consistent in our car. We’re hoping to finish out the season with a couple more victories and maybe a championship when it’s all said and done.”
