The Story

Race cars. The extreme expression of performance and the pride of all auto manufacturers- especially when the race cars the manufacturer designs, engineers and builds win! Such is the case at Ford Racing, the only manufacturer to offer a diverse line of fully engineered, turn-key, winning race cars for racers from amateurs to pros-the Mustang FR500 family.

The first of this family was the FR500C, a car designed to compete in the professional grand-Am Cup series (now the KONI Challenge). The FR500C had a remarkable first season, winning the "triple crown"-the drivers', manufacturers' and team championships! The formula was so good that the car was taken to Europe where it stormed to the 2007 FIA gT4 championship. Since then, it has carried on by winning races and multiple championships in 2008 and 2009.

With the success of the FR500C, Ford Racing embarked on an even more challenging effort-building race cars in Mustang's assembly plant. Through a collaboration involving Ford Racing, Miller Motorsports Park and the team at the plant, the FR500S was born- and with it the Ford Racing Mustang Challenge a professional road racing series featuring the FR500S exclusively. After two full seasons and 18 races, the factory-built race car has proven itself to be fun, safe and affordable.

In 2009, the story continued, moving to the drag strip. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the original Mustang Cobra Jet, Ford Racing engineered, built and reintroduced the newest member of the FR500 family, the FR500CJ (Cobra Jet), to sportsman drag racing. Powered by the 5.4L Cobra Jet engine, this factory hot rod benefited from the same design and engineering that went into its road racing brothers. And like its road racing brothers, the Cobra Jet won its first time out! Watch for the new 2010 Cobra Jet on drag strips throughout the 2010 season.

Another category of competion vehicles offered at Ford Racing is with the F-150. The Ford F-150 and toughness. A relationship that is as old as the Ford truck itself and a reputation that has been earned the hard way-through Ford trucks' many wins in desert racing, where the conditions and demands conquer lesser vehicles. And through serving America's commercial needs daily, both on and off pavement. No question about it, Ford trucks are "Built Ford Tough."

Well, "Built Ford Tough" meet "Built Ford Racing Fast"! Led by offerings for the innovative and race-proven 2010 F-150 SVT Raptor (skid plates, light kits, exhaust, rear gear sets, etc.), Ford Racing is the place to go for Ford truck go-fast parts that are designed, developed and validated by the factory. In this case, the "factory" is Ford Racing, the guys who live and breathe performance
