Ford Racing will run a three-round, invitation-only Mustang one-make championship in 2027, with each round held on a different continent. According to Ford, the series pays tribute to its international racing history and gives drivers an easier way to race on three of the world’s best-known circuits.
One car, three continents
The 2027 season adds a new event to Ford Racing’s calendar: a Mustang one-make championship made up of three rounds, each on a different continent. Entry is by invitation only, and every competitor will drive a Mustang, so results depend on the drivers rather than on differences between cars.
Ford calls the series a one-of-a-kind opportunity. The company says it has two aims: to honour its international motorsport history, and to make it easier for drivers to cross three of the world’s most iconic tracks off their list in a single season.
What has not been confirmed yet
The announcement is a short teaser. It does not name the three circuits or give dates. It also does not say which Mustang specification will be raced, how drivers can be invited or what entry will cost. Ford directs readers to a full story on its From the Road site, and more details are expected there.
What it means
One-make series are a common way for manufacturers to give customers and amateur drivers a direct route into racing. They also keep the spotlight on a single model. Taking such a series across three continents in one season is a bigger undertaking than the usual single-country championships, and it puts the Mustang at the centre of Ford Racing’s international presence.
Ford has not yet published the 2027 calendar or the entry details for the invitational championship.
