Ford Performance has given us the first look at the new Ford Mustang that will race in the 2019 Virgin Australia Supercars Championship.

The concept sketch, has been created by Ford’s own Exterior Vehicle designer, Nima Nourian, gives us a look at a Supercars version of the 2018-model Mustang that will be homologated towards the end of this year. 

The announcement that the Mustang, with support from Ford Australia and Ford Performance, was made earlier this week and has been welcome news for Mustang Owners and fans all over Australia. 

There looks to be eight different Mustangs on the grid for next years Championship with four cars from Tickford Racing, two from Shell V-Power Racing Team DJR Penske, that will also be joined by one from Matt Stone Racing and 23 Red Racing 

Both Tickford Racing and DJR Penske teams will work with Ford Performance to homologate the Mustang for the Championship. 

All we can say now is bring on 2019.

Growing up in Tasmania, car culture hardly surrounded Joel. But between Targa, the Australian Rally Championship and V8 Supercars there was enough to build Joel’s passion for all things automotive. Joel got his first big break covering the Australian Rally Championship in the mid 2000s.  His two biggest publishing accomplishments were for two publications which are no longer in print, first one photo published in Motorsport News in the mid ‘90s and then his first feature story published in Speed magazine in the mid 2000s, both from rally events.  He now combines that automotive passion every day in his photography and writing. The best car he’s owned to date was a 2005 Subaru Impreza WRX, with the sound of the boxer engine and handling causing him to yearn for another.  If he had the money, he would buy a Dodge Viper from the early ‘90s. Did someone say 8.0-litre V10?
