Hybrid Racing is where our story began. In 1901, Henry Ford climbed into a car he built himself "Sweepstakes" and beat America's most famous driver. He wasn't a racer, but he had to win. He did. Ford Motor Company was born from that victory. That fighting spirit lives on in Ford Racing today. We're the engineers, strategists, and competitors who bring Ford's track-tested edge into every vehicle we build. Every track, every stage, every proving ground that's where we prove ourselves.

The result:

one of the world's most iconic brands, legendary nameplates, and a team unmatched in the industry.
