Dailysportscar.com is delighted to announce that, as part of DSC’s new-for-2026 Academy programme, complete, in-depth coverage of Ford Mustang Challenge North America has been added to the website as of this weekend’s meeting at Laguna Seca.
Academy member Natalie Johnston will be providing news, reports and regular feature material on the popular single-make series throughout the season as part of her development.
Via new DSC Academy partner, Ford Racing, Natalie will attend multiple races, where she will be given full access to key members of the paddock and Ford Racing’s management structure.
The aim, beyond introducing DSC’s readers to some of the most entertaining single-make racing on the planet, is to further her understanding of Mustang Challenge’s place in Ford’s racing pyramid and to get creative with her output. DSC will also host live streams of the races on the website during each event as part of its output.
The IMSA-sanctioned Mustang Challenge North America series debuted in 2024 and sees drivers up to Silver in the FIA grading system compete in track-only, V8-powered Dark Horse Rs.
Each event weekend features two 45-minute races and two categories: Dark Horse and Dark Horse Legends, with the latter open to bronze-level drivers aged 40 or over.
Following the season-opening weekend at Sebring back in March, the teams are in action at Laguna Seca this weekend and will travel to Mid-Ohio and Watkins Glen in June, then VIR and COTA in August and September, respectively.
