A FORD Mustang Supercar will set foot in Ireland for a confirmed public appearance next week.
The surprise cameo has been announced overnight via Red Bull Ireland, to occur at Mondello Park near Dublin on June 13-14.
It’s for the Red Bull Drift Masters Ireland event, which is described as “now also including Red Bull Ampol Racing’s Ford Mustang Supercar”.
That will presumably be the United States-based Gen3 beast built by Dick Johnson Racing but presented in Red Bull Ampol colours that Jamie Whincup drove last month at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
That same car was earlier steered by Formula 1 superstar Max Verstappen in Las Vegas.
Triple Eight, which is Ford’s Supercars homologation team, does also have its own spare Gen3 Mustang which was sampled by Daniel Ricciardo at Calder in March.
The scheduled Supercar outing at Mondello does neatly fall less than a month out from the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed (July 9-12) in England, where V8 Sleuth understands a Whincup-driven Mustang could factor.
Mondello was a regular fixture on the British Touring Car Championship calendar in the 2000s and is next month hosting a round of the FIA European Rallycross Championship.
