Ford Performance Announces Daniel Ricciardo As Its Newest...

Daniel's love for the Raptor makes him the perfect man for the job. Known as "The Honey Badger" in race paddocks worldwide, winning eight Formula 1 Grand Prixs throughout his 14-year career, Daniel Ricciardo will forever be cemented in history as the fun-loving, charismatic driver we've all grown to love. Whether you're a die-hard Mercedes-AMG Petronas or Scuderia Ferrari HP fan, there's no denying the feeling of sadness when hearing that Ricciardo officially announced his retirement from Formula racing. And while his Instagram portrays his newfound love for fashion, wines, and all things adventure, Daniel Ricciardo remains fuel-driven as Ford Performance recently announced him as its newest Global Ambassador. For Daniel, the partnership feels less like a marketing move and more like a natural fit. He's been a Raptor owner since 2017, long before he had a house in the U.S., and has plenty of stories tied to road trips and adventures behind the wheel. Along the way, he's built connections with Ford's team, from meeting CEO Jim Farley and the designers in Dearborn to hanging out with employees in Cologne, even taking in the rare sight of a live crash test. What stood out to him wasn't just the trucks or the tech, but the shared love for racing culture that's cemented into Ford's DNA. That same energy is what helped make the Raptor become a lifestyle for drivers who want something capable, loud, and just plain fun. Now, Ricciardo gets to share that lifestyle with Ford customers around the world. His role as Global Racing Ambassador will put him right in the mix with the Raptor community, while keeping him close to the bigger motorsport picture that Ford is still so heavily invested in. From Formula 1 to Le Mans, Dakar, and Bathurst, Ford continues to race on just about every stage that matters, and Ricciardo will be there to bring some of that energy to fans and drivers. This feels like the right way forward for someone who's always valued fun over formality. He might not be chasing podiums anymore, but with Ford and the Raptor, Ricciardo is still very much in the driver's seat.

Watch Max Verstappen & Chris Harris Track The All-New 815...

With two of the world's best drivers in one cockpit, you best believe the GTD was pushed to its absolute limits. Gearing up for its triumphant return to motorsport's biggest stages like Formula 1, Ford Performance continues to pile on the track projects that add to its legacy and history in racing. Ford's calendar is filling up quickly with deliveries and track sessions, from the release of its highly anticipated Mustang GTD to prepping for its spot on the F1 grid in 2026 with a Red Bull Racing partnership. And to touch on all the new things happening at Ford and Red Bull Racing, Automotive Journalist Chris Harris recently spent some time behind the wheel of past and future four-wheel icons alongside Formula 1 Champion Max Verstappen in Ford Performance's newest YouTube video. The end goal of testing the Ford Mustang GTD on track in the South of France begins with a spirited commute in a Ford RS200. Being the deep-thinking, passionate car nerd we've all grown to love through his in-depth reviews, pushing some of the most powerful cars to their limits, Chris Harris used his time with Max to get answers to some of the questions he's been dying to ask. Whether it be lessons from his early age, go-kart training at the track with his dad, or breaking down the steps of a V-style racing line, Max gave insight into the upbringing and ongoing training it takes to become and maintain his role as a winning Formula 1 driver. Another interesting topic of discussion that the two conversed on while in the hot cabin of a homologated Group B road car was Max's diverse racing career and how his style of driving differs between cars and their classes. He deems it undescribable and only truly achieved by feeling and knowing the limits, whether in his Red Bull Racing RB21 car or while GT3 racing under the alias "Franz Hermann." Arriving at the small French racetrack, the first thing that caught Max's eye was the vibrant blue finish on the GTD, calling the shade a "spicy color." Behind the wheel, Max Verstappen gets right to business. Instead of gradually learning the layout, he digs into each corner, figuring out where the grip is and isn't, all while pushing the car harder with every lap. The Ford Mustang GTD suits his style, handling rough surfaces with confidence and making the most of its brakes and sticky tires. It's the kind of driving that shows just how naturally talented he is and how capable the GTD is when properly used. Chris Harris, riding along, seemed genuinely impressed with the car and with Verstappen's ability to make it dance around the circuit like second nature.

Watch Jay Leno's First-Drive In His New Ford Mustang GTD ...

After a year and half wait, Jay Leno finally received keys to his new Mustang GTD. For over 60 years, the Mustang has sat high in Ford's fleet as a flagship model and one of the most recognized and influential American muscle cars ever made. Evolving with dramatic design updates, improved tech, and even more performance, the Mustang became the benchmark for American sports cars, where motorsport met the road. The all-new Mustang GTD represents a whole new chapter for the already iconic model, announced in August 2023 and already securing a Nürburgring lap time of 6 minutes and 52.072 seconds. Almost 2 years after its debut to the world, Ford is beginning to roll out Mustang GTD deliveries to some of its first customers worldwide. One of those lucky 2025 Ford Mustang GTD owners is none other than the ultimate car collector himself, Jay Leno, who took delivery and shared the first drive on the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage. Before hopping behind the wheel and unleashing all 815 horsepower on the open road, Jay is joined by Ford CEO Jim Farley for an in-depth walkaround of his brand-new purchase. Jay's Mustang GTD is finished in a combination of dark blue paint and exposed carbon fiber and shares the same #12 production number as his other limited-production Ford Mustangs. Equipped from the factory with the Performance Package, the build features a road-car-only Drag Reduction System (DRS) that helps with straight-line speed while providing over 2,000lbs of downforce. Even more impressive than its 5.2L V8 'Predator' engine is an exposed rear suspension displayed through a dedicated window behind the driver and passenger. The team involved in the GTD and the production of Jay's personal car signed their names underneath the hood and throughout the engine cover. Amidst the camaraderie and stories shared about what influenced the creation of the Mustang GTD and Ford's motorsport history, Jay and Jim break for a first drive on the roads of sunny California. Expecting a more aggressive, track-oriented feel, Jay is actually pleasantly surprised by its initial comfort and ability to be considered a daily drivable racecar.

With a fleet of supercars and time behind the wheel of some of the world’s greatest machines, he knows what makes an exciting drive. Although Shmee150 isn’t easy to impress when it comes to performance cars and supercars, the new track-only Ford GT Mk IV managed to do just that. The Mk IV is inspired by the one of the most celebrated pieces of the original Ford GT40’s captivating Le Mans success story. In keeping with that ethos, the new 2023 Ford GT Mk IV is the ultimate and final iteration of the Ford GT as we know it. With over 800 horsepower coming from its twin-turbo EcoBoost engine, it costs a whopping $1.7 million and is limited to just 67 examples, and homage to the year 1967 when the original Mk IV was born. At the Sonoma Raceway during the prestigious Velocity Invitational event celebrating racing prowess and history, Shmee got to experience the new 2023 Ford GT Mk IV up close and personal where it shines the best: on the race track. A few hot laps proved that the advanced engineering and ruthless track focus live up to everything they’re chalked up to be, and it takes mere seconds for Shmee to confirm that the Mk IV is a completely different beast compared to the standard Ford GT. With power, aerodynamics, and lightweight construction, the new Ford GT Mk IV modernizes the greatness that helped the original version make its mark on automotive history, and only a handful of people will get to experience that greatness.
