After much time of prepping and preparing the Ford Mustang is finally ready to make its debut of road racing in Europe. The Mustang FR500C, which has seen victory in the U.S. race, Grand Am KONI Challenge Series has been registered for the FIA GT4 competition. On the other end you have the FR500GT, which will be racing for the very first time, that has been registered for the FIA GT3 competition.
If there’s one Mustang worth looking forward to, it would have to be the 2007 Saleen/Parnelli Jones Limited Edition.

This summer, four hundred cars will begin a 2900 mile cross country race contest, originating from Miami, Atlanta, Washington DC and New York. Inspired by Erwin G. “Cannonball” Baker, who set 143 American distance records, including a 53½ hour coast to coast solo drive averaging over 50 mph in 1933, and brought back to life by Tim “Maverick” Porter in 2001 - drivers will attempt to average a speed of 61 mph over the entire route (obtainable without going over the speed limit).
Fresh off a stellar rookie season behind the wheel of a twin turbo PRO car, Erica Ortiz looks to keep the momentum rolling in 2007 with significant upgrades in her racing program. The 26 year-old made monumental progress in her first year running the Fun Ford Weekend Pro 5.0 class, finishing 2nd in the points chase with consistent 6 second, 200 mph performances, and shattering the mold as the quickest and fastest woman in Fun Ford drag racing.
