Ford’s GT4 Mustang for Phillip Island race debut

The Miedecke Motorsport-entered Mustang GT4 will be driven in the Monochrome GT4 Australia series races at Phillip Island by George Miedecke and young gun Rylan Grey. Seventeen-year-old Grey is also competing in a Tickford Racing Mustang Supercar in the Super2 Championship this year.

“The arrival of our Mustang GT4 marks a new era of Ford Performance in Australia, and we are thrilled that Miedecke Motorsport will showcase its capabilities on the track,” said car owner and former touring car star Andrew Miedecke. Fittingly, Miedecke’s large automotive sales business on the NSW north coast includes a Ford dealership.

“This car embodies the spirit of performance and passion that defines the Mustang legacy. As Ford dealers, we're also excited about the 60th anniversary celebrations and are looking forward to the seventh-generation Mustang arriving on Australian roads later this year.”

Mark Rushbrook, global director of Ford Performance Motorsports, pointed out the significance of the Mustang and the excitement surrounding its GT4 racing version's Australian debut.

“The Mustang holds a special place in the hearts of racing enthusiasts worldwide, and seeing the GT4 version on Australian tracks is truly a momentous occasion,” Rushbrook said. “We are proud to be part of the global expansion of Mustang in motorsport.”
