Jamie Whincup, Will Brown, Scott Pye to feature in Gen3 Ford
Supercars machinery will light up some of the biggest motoring events in Europe with Red Bull Ampol Racing and its fleet of star drivers.
Triple Eight Race Engineering confirmed Friday that a Red Bull Ampol Mustang will complete a series of promotional runs, starting with the Red Bull Drift Masters event in Ireland.
From there, the car will be a headline attraction at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, before featuring at the Red Bull Ring during the Formula 1 Lenovo Austrian Grand Prix.
Finally, the car will be at the Red Bull Showrun in Riga, capital city of Latvia.
Jamie Whincup, who drove a Ford Supercar in Miami last month, will get behind the wheel at Goodwood, while 2024 Supercars champion Will Brown and Scott Pye will be at Austria and Latvia respectively.
As part of the new Red Bull and Ford relationship, a Supercar has already passed through the hands of Max Verstappen in Las Vegas, with Daniel Ricciardo also taking on Broc Feeney at Calder Park.
Mark Rushbrook, Ford Racing Global Director, said: “Having Triple Eight running the Mustang in the Australian Supercar series has already reaped huge benefits for the Ford Racing team and the string of excellent results has shown that. But working with them brings more than just on track results.
“It is great to see how Triple Eight and Red Bull have embraced the off-track activities and worked to bring this incredible car to more fans around the world.
"We are delighted to support the European tour for the car and look forward to exciting crowds across the continent with the speed, power and noise of our Australian Supercars Mustang.”
Whincup said: "The power of our Ford Racing and Red Bull partnership is that it's global and allows us to showcase our car, team and drivers worldwide.
"The car was in Las Vegas earlier in the year, we just drove it in Miami, now we have an awesome opportunity to take it to Europe and show a whole new audience what an Aussie Supercar can do.”
"There's no other racing series quite like Supercars — we know that. We saw that 'flying' through the streets of the Gold Coast and the racing at Bathurst, once you experience a Supercars race, see it and hear it, you're hooked.
"Our goal is to bring what we do to a whole new audience, keep building our passionate fan base that follow the blue oval and the Red Bull Ampol Racing team — and show the fans back here the cool things we get up to while we're not competing in the Supercars Championship."
"Ireland, Austria, and Latvia are all massive events in their own right. Then to take the Supercar to Goodwood, that is going to be an unbelievable experience at one of the biggest motorsport events on the planet.”
Brown and Feeney will resume their 2026 Supercars campaigns in Darwin on June 19-21. International fans can watch on SuperView.
