BRYCE Fullwood will up the ante on his 2026 racing program with a cameo appearance in Motorcraft Mustang Cup Australia this weekend.
The opportunity will come on home turf for the Territorian – i.e. Hidden Valley in Darwin – as he becomes the latest driver to cycle through RM Racing Cars’ #92 entry.
Cameron McLeod, Harry Bresnehan and Pat Neville have previously occupied the car.
Fullwood has never driven a Ford in his 187 Supercars races to date, but does have Blue Oval experience from the production car arena including the Bathurst 6 Hour.
The 28-year-old has been tipped to fill one of the three unannounced enduro co-drive seats at Brad Jones Racing later this year, most likely alongside André Heimgartner in the #8 Supra.
“This is a great opportunity for me to go out and have a spin on my old home ground,” said Fullwood.
“The Mustang Cup is a new, exciting category. I’ve been watching it from afar, and it looks pretty cool. I’m excited to get in, have a squirt and see what it’s all about.
“The category looks well placed for young drivers trying to climb the ranks and gain experience before moving to Super2 or other GT racing.
“They have a great slick tyre, a big full-size car with decent horsepower, so you can learn many fundamentals to move forward in your career.
“It’s very affordable, it’s got national TV coverage, and Ford is putting a lot of effort in – both for this and all its global motorsport programs.
“So for me, that’s why I think it’s a category that is going to work.

“And it’s exciting to have the SpeedSeries come up to Darwin for the first time.
“It’s the second biggest Australian motorsport championship, and I know that most of the motorsport fans up there are looking forward to it.
“I think the thing that the fans are going to really enjoy about the SpeedSeries is the extra access. The SpeedSeries events aren’t as restricted in certain areas, so if you’re a real race fan, this will be the weekend for you to get up close and personal with the cars and the drivers.”
Thirteen V8-powered Dark Horse Rs have been entered for Round 4 of Mustang Cup Australia.
