The Ford Mustang Supercars has completed its homologation testing program with the results now set to be put to the Supercars Commission this week.
Ford’s new entrant has undergone a series of thorough straight-line tests known as VCAT (V8 Supercars Aerodynamic Testing) over an 11 day period at Temora Airstrip in New South Wales, which was overseen by Supercars’ technical department.
The Mustang was matched against a current model Holden ZB Commodore and a Nissan Altima to ensure the new car meets the required drag and downforce numbers to achieve parity among the models.
Supercars’ technical department will now be tasked to write a detailed report from the test which will then be presented to the Supercars Commission on Wednesday.
The Mustang, developed by Ford Performance in the US, DJR Team Penske (homologation team) and Tickford Racing, is set to make its highly anticipated race debut at the Superloop Adelaide 500 from February 28 – March 3.
