Ford Dominates with Double-Podium Finish in GTD Pro Class

Ford Mustang GT3 Finishes in First and Third Place At Rolex 24 Hours At Daytona

Ford Multimatic Motorsports made a bold statement in the GTD Pro class at the Rolex 24 Hours At Daytona, securing not just one, but two spots on the podium. This remarkable achievement marks a triumphant start to the season, showcasing the team’s relentless effort over the past year to reclaim their place among the elite.

The No. 65 car, driven by Dennis Olsen, Frederic Vervisch, and Christopher Mies, clinched victory, while the No. 64 sister car rounded out the podium with a third-place finish. Sandwiched between them was Corvette Racing Pratt Miller Motorsports, which claimed second place.

A thrilling late-race battle between Paul Miller Racing and Corvette Racing set the stage for Olsen to stay out front and hold on for the win. This victory wasn’t just a milestone for Ford—it underscored the intense rivalry between two automotive giants, Ford and Chevrolet. Chevrolet celebrated its own success in the GTD class, with customer team AWA driving the No. 13 Corvette Z06 GT3.R to a class victory. For these two iconic brands, filling the top three spots in their respective classes was an achievement worth celebrating.

The opening-round triumph at Daytona provides Ford with a strong foundation heading into the next challenge at the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring. However, with Corvette and BMW demonstrating formidable pace, the competition remains fierce. Fans can expect intense battles for race wins throughout the season as these powerhouse teams continue to vie for dominance.
