\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHaupt Racing Team ran a Ford Mustang GT3 at the Bathurst 12 Hour in collaboration with Triple Eight.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHaupt Racing Team ran a Ford Mustang GT3 at the Bathurst 12 Hour in collaboration with Triple Eight.<\/p>\n
Australia\u2019s Multimatic distributor Miedecke Motorsport and Melbourne Performance Centre are set to collaborate on the international effort.<\/p>\n
Miedecke Motorsport is responsible for the importation and distribution of Mustang GT3 and GT4 in Australia.<\/p>\n
MPC has long run Audi machinery Down Under, including the R8 with Brad Schumacher and Broc Feeney in GT World Challenge Australia.<\/p>\n
It is believed a car is on its way from Australia to Japan to contest the Suzuka 1000km next month as part of the Intercontinental GT Challenge.<\/p>\n
There is a logical link between Miedecke Motorsport and Melbourne Performance Centre, which both operate out of the same Victorian workshop.<\/p>\n
It is believed the effort is being supported by Ford Racing.<\/p>\n
Speedcafe understands the car is likely to return to Australia with a view to being used for next year\u2019s Bathurst 12 Hour.<\/p>\n
Speedcafe sought comment from Ford but had not received a response at the time of writing. An announcement is expected soon.<\/p>\n
Although Supercars star Broc Feeney has harboured desires to make more starts internationally with Ford, he will not be part of the Mustang driver line-up.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s due to a clash with the first leg of the Supercars Enduro Cup, which begins with The Bend 500 on the same weekend.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s believed the Miedecke Motorsports\/Melbourne Performance Centre entry will be an all-pro line-up in any case.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Haupt Racing Team and Triple Eight Race Engineering collaborated on an ill-fated entry in the Bathurst 12 Hour, which ended abruptly when Christopher Mies hit a kangaroo in the early hours of Sunday morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Haupt Racing Team ran a Ford Mustang GT3 at the Bathurst 12 Hour in collaboration with Triple Eight.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":560737,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[111,139,69,1732,213],"class_list":["post-560736","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-slot4","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/560736","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=560736"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/560736\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/560737"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=560736"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=560736"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=560736"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
