bifs66 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 The new 2016 Mustang GT350R will officially complete in the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge IMSA race this coming weekend. Ford announced that two Mustangs will be entered in the GS class. This will be interesting to see if they can back up all the hype with performance in actual competition. Stand by for a "rules change" if they are too competitive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bifs66 Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 It looks like the GT350R-C Mustangs came in 4th and 7th in their first taste of competition. It will be interesting to hear what the teams have to say about the new cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupe3w Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Pretty good for first time out and in the rain no less. I don't think the teams got to practice any laps in the rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
