Notable departures include Joey Hand and Dirk Muller, who were instrumental in developing the Mustang GT3 and previously secured a Le Mans victory for Ford in 2016. Mark Rushbrook, global director of Ford Performance Motorsports, acknowledged their contributions while emphasizing the need for evolution to drive success forward.
The Mustang GT3 showed increasing competitiveness throughout its debut season, with the No. 64 securing multiple podium finishes with Rockenfeller and Tincknell. The team is currently participating in the IMSA-sanctioned test at Daytona International Speedway, preparing for their sophomore season with renewed optimism and an enhanced driver lineup.
The team aims to build on their late-2024 momentum and start the 2025 season strong at the Daytona International Speedway, leveraging their experienced new driver combinations and refined vehicle development.
