Ford Racing shows off new global motorsport livery

FORD -1

Ford Racing has debuted its brand new global motorsport identifier, highlighting the brand’s commitment to various competitive motorsports around the world.

Featuring on all race cars supported and powered by Ford, the distinctive new Ford Racing blue/black livery will be seen on cars like the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Ford Fusion and local Ford Performance Racing Car of the Future Ford Falcon V8 Supercar.

Ford Racing says prototype vehicles will be finished in white with a wide, offset black and blue stripe running over the length of the car while development cars will differ by having the black and blue stripes on a matt black base.

A rising black wedge flows along the cars’ flanks joined by a blue bar that is mirrored again in another blue/black identifier on the rear pillars.

Ford Racing director Jamie Allison said the company has been racing for over 110 years in categories including sports cars, off-road trucks, rally cars, open-wheel cars, drag racing and more recently in action sports like drifting and rallycross.

“We’re bringing together our production vehicles under the global Ford banner, and we’re mirroring that by creating a visual connection everywhere we race around the world,” Allison said.

Other cars in the Ford Racing family are the NASCAR Mustang, NHRA Mustang Funny Car, GRAND-AM Focus ST-R, Rally America Fiesta, BITD off-road F-150 and CTCC Focus.

Although the Fiesta WRC car features in the main image, sadly this is not to be, with Ford announcing its withdrawal from the FIA World Rally Championship earlier this month.

      The falcon by far!

        I’d have to say the ‘coon as well. The Nascars are just a rolling billboard as opposed to a real car. Back it up with the Fiesta WRC.

        • Golfmother

          YER the coon what a car , love the coon .

          • Huwtm

            You thought you were so clever coming up with the ‘coon’, you had to say it twice just to make sure every single person on the net could witness how witty you are and that it was not just some freak typo. Well done…

            Should’ve gone to spec savers. You’re too blind, you missed the sarcasm tag. Lighten up Gulp-mother’s-milk.

      I would have to say the Mustang NHRA looks the coolest.

  • Robbie

  • Alan

    Cool Look hope the new Focus RS looks like this 

  • poindexter

    I wonder how long it will be before the V8 supercars have painted on grills and lamps?

    • Tex

      They can do away with the side mirrors too. How many safety cars did they have at the Gold Coast because a side mirror was the worlds biggest OH&S issue. Lame.

  • Pete D

    The Falcon for sure!  I like the new Fusion NASCAR, but don’t like those tacky stickers for the front lights and grille :S 

  • save it for the track

    Ecoboost. Where’s the marketing from Ford? I’m convinced that the Australian manufacturing operation is being allowed to die a slow death by the US masters. Nothing else explains the ineptitude and numerous missed opportunities.
