About the Mustang Cup
The Mustang Cup is an entry-level, one-make racing series introduced by Ford Performance, designed for novice and hobby racers. It serves as the first step in Ford’s sports car racing ladder, providing a professionally organized, club-level competition.
The series features the Mustang Dark Horse R, a track-focused race car built to deliver high performance and an exhilarating racing experience.
SERIES OVERVIEW
Unique to Mustang Cup is the option of an optional two-driver format. Each race in a doubleheader format will count towards separate championships – the Miles Cup and Parnelli Cup – allowing two drivers to pursue separate championships or one driver to compete in both.
Drivers with a current club racing license from accredited sanctioning bodies will be recognized and issued a USAC Mustang Cup license. Drivers without a racing license, but who have track experience and wish to race in Mustang Cup, may obtain a nationally recognized club racing license from a number of accredited racing schools, in order to receive an equivalent USAC Mustang Cup license.
Mustang Cup offers flexibility to meet any racer’s goals, whether aiming for advancement to a national championship series or competing at a regional level.
