Ford was founded on the racetrack and, to this day, Ford Performance exists to better every Ford on the road. The Ford Performance philosophy is to take lessons in design, engineering and innovation from the track and apply them in the continuous improvement of our vehicles. Our goal is to develop the world’s leading performance vehicles, parts, accessories and experiences, and share them with equally enthused drivers. Shared adrenaline is our shared passion.

After more than two decades, Ford is returning to Formula1. The iconic American automaker and Red Bull Powertrains are entering into a long term strategic technical partnership for the development of the next-gen hybrid power unit to be used from the 2026 Formula 1 season onwards. Red Bull Ford will provide the power units for both the Oracle Red Bull Racing and Scuderia Alpha Tauri teams from 2026 to at least 2030. “This is the start of a thrilling new chapter in Ford’s Motorsports story that began when my great-grandfather won a race that helped launch our company,” said Bill Ford, executive chair. “Ford, alongside world champions, Oracle Red Bull Racing, is returning to the pinnacle of the sport, bringing Ford’s long tradition of innovation, sustainability and electrification to one of the world’s most visible stages.”

Ford’s rich history in Australian Motorsport continues with the 2023 debut of the Gen3 Mustang GT in the Repco Supercars Championship. A much closer marriage of road car and race car, the Gen3 looks every inch a Mustang but with the fierce competitive heart of generations of Ford SuperCars. Andrew Birkic, Ford Australia President and CEO, says, ‘We want to make the sport better for fans, with more relevant cars, and more entertaining racing.’
