Mustang Sully
V8X Supercar Magazine|June - July 2017

With the speculation over if/when Ford teams will switch from the Falcon to the Mustang under the Gen2 rules, some aren’t happy about the potential change, as Bruce Newton reports.

While most of us are get-ting excited at the prospect of the potential – let alone confirmed – arrival of the Ford Mustang in the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship, Roland Dane does not share that enthusiasm.

Dane, the Triple Eight Race Engineering boss and Supercars board member, is concerned the car has been homologated for the global GT4 category and will inevitably race in Australia as the class gains traction.

“As GT4 cars get more prevalent – which they will purely because of the price-point for amateur drivers around the world – I am very concerned there will be confusion between some of those cars and ours if we are not careful,” says Dane.

“They are inevitably going to be on the same billing.”

1960 – 2020 TOP 60 DRIVERS

Who are the greatest drivers in the 60-year history of the Australian Touring Car Championship/Supercars? We rank the top 60 with an emphasis on best championship finishes, race-winning percentage and competitive longevity. Only drivers with top 10 championship finishes were considered, to emphasise championship performances over part-time or endurance campaigns. Also, results from the Bathurst 1000 and other endurance events were only factored in when they were part of the championship.
