I read the title of the thread and thought Ford had issued a notice of 888 defects found on new Mustangs

I wonder how many other 888 tied GM Teams will now jump ship to Ford? HaHa

We should also expect to see 888 running a GT3 Mustang(s?) at the 2026 Bathurst 12 Hr, and GT4s?

Meh. I love what 888 achieved with Lowndes and Wincup back when they were racing Falcon's, but I actually gave up watching the sport because of 888. The arrogance they developed racing GM products really put me off them as a team, and the sport in general.

This goes to prove it's not worth watching and the series will be dead in a few more years. BTW I was there at Bathurst 1992 and Jim Richards called me an asshole lol. On a side note, we got Danny Holmes signature on that day and he died during the race.
