The iconic roar of American muscle has officially reached Australia's most revered circuit. Zohari Cars is proud to cover the historic debut of the Mustang GT3 at the 2026 Bathurst 12 Hour. Competing under the HRT Ford Racing banner, this legendary car took on its fifth continent, facing the extreme elevation changes of Mount Panorama.
Ford Racing assembled a formidable lineup for this campaign. Factory drivers Christopher Mies and Dennis Olsen—both former Bathurst winners—brought their deep understanding of the Mustang GT3 platform. They were joined by Australian Supercars star Broc Feeney, whose intimate knowledge of "The Mountain" proved invaluable in navigating the narrow, high-speed sections like Skyline and the Esses.
For Ford, Bathurst is more than just a race; it's a high-speed laboratory. The data gathered from the extreme stresses of Mount Panorama—reaching 5th gear through drastic elevation shifts—directly informs the development of future production Mustangs. This debut solidifies Ford Racing’s purpose-driven presence in Australia, bridging the gap between a championship-level Supercars program and the road-going Mustang Dark Horse.
Stay tuned to Zohari Cars as we continue to track the Mustang GT3's global assault on the world's most challenging endurance races.
