\u201cMustang is raced at all the great tracks around the world, but there is no race or track that means more to our history than Le Mans,\u201d said Bill Ford, executive chair, at The Stampede, the debut of the all-new seventh-generation Ford Mustang. \u201cIt’s where we took on Ferrari and won in the 1960s and where we returned 50 years later and shocked the world again.<\/p>\n

\u201cMustang will go back to Le Mans. Once again, we will Go Like Hell.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ford famously took the Ford GT 40 to the Le Mans 24 Hours beginning in 1964 and triumphed in 1966, sweeping the podium with a 1-2-3 finish. Then, 50 years later, to the day, Ford did it again \u2013 winning the Le Mans 24 Hours with Ford Chip Ganassi Racing and the Ford GT, with another Ford GT finishing third. For its part, the Mustang was raced at Le Mans in 1967 and 1997.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Mustang GT3 will be eligible in 2024,\u201d said Mark Rushbrook, global director, Ford Performance Motorsports. \u201cWe look forward to seeing Mustang race there.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
