Moffat Trans-Am Mustang tribute livery for Mustang Cup

The livery pays tribute to his father’s Kar Kraft-constructed Mustang Boss 302 Trans Am, which Ford gifted him and debuted at Sandown’s Southern 60 event in 1969. The car was instrumental in Allan Moffat establishing himself as a topline Australian touring car star.

Confirmation of Moffat's GRM-run entry adds another big name to the Motorcraft Mustang Cup Australia entry list, which already includes his long-time friend and fellow 'son-of-a-gun' Jack Perkins.

They’ll be up against a mixture of young guns and seasoned campaigners in the inaugural Motorcraft Mustang Cup Australia, which kicks off at Phillip Island on March 25-27 as part of the Shannons SpeedSeries.

"I'm excited to experience the cars and see what the series is all about," said Moffat.

"By all reports, it looks like a fairly solid grid for the first-ever round, and I'll get to race against one of my old mates Jack Perkins, so that'll be a bit of fun. Hopefully there won't be too much fender bending!

"Running these colours is a good tip of the hat to my dad's achievements. It's a look that he is probably most synonymous with and celebrated for.

"To represent that on the track, in a new category that Ford is pushing, was the best way for myself and GRM to honour his legacy.

"It's great to see that the category has significant backing from the Ford Motor Company. That's going to be important for the growth of the series.

"You can see across the world that Ford is showing serious commitment to its racing activities, which is fantastic for competitors and fans.

"To have the Blue Oval behind it and engaged is a big positive.

"GRM is really my racing family in many ways these days. I've been with them basically non-stop since 2016. I finished my full-time Supercars career with them and then had success in Trans Am and TCR in recent times."

"It's hard for me to think of doing any racing of some form without Barry (Rogers) and the team.

"And like we always do, we'll give it our best shot and hopefully come home with some trophies."
