Ford Performance Motorsports Debuts Mustang GT3 Documentary Leading up to Debut at Rolex 24 at Daytona
As the Ford Performance team prepares for one of its busiest years in living memory, the Mustang GT3 team have been preparing for the first big race of 2024 – the Rolex 24 at Daytona. The cameras have been behind the scenes throughout to capture the highs and lows of testing and this documentary series is the result, titled ‘Mustang Endurance’.
From the rain of Sebring to the heat of Barcelona and from the North of England to the South of the USA, the team developing the new Mustang GT3 have seen it all as they battle to get the new Mustang GT3 ready for its debut in January at the iconic Rolex 24 at Daytona. And throughout their journey, the cameras have followed their progress through the highs and lows that are part and parcel of going racing at the highest level.
In this 5-part series starting on December 15, we hear from all the key protagonists – from the drivers and crews whose job it is to get the Mustang GT3 to the top of the timing charts to the engineers, designers, engine makers and technicians whose work is so crucial to make the magic happen. As part of this, Ford is chronicling the journey as a runner would prepare for a marathon – focusing on developing the body (chassis and aero), the heart (engine) and the mind (the people that make it all happen), where episode 5 will document our first Marathon – Rolex 24 at Daytona.
It is not all sweetness and light. There are some tough times to contend with along the way, but this documentary charts all the pieces of the jigsaw being bought together as the team race to be ready for the twice around the clock event in January at the iconic Daytona track.
