RTR Drift Team Unveils James Deane and Ben Hobson's 2024 Mustang RTR Spec 5-FD Formula Drift Liveries
In the world of motorsports, where speed and precision reign supreme, the visual identity of a race car is not just about aesthetics—it's a statement of intent, a reflection of heritage, and a canvas for innovation. This year, RTR Vehicles is proud to introduce the 2024 liveries for the Mustang RTR Spec 5-FD, designed for our esteemed drivers James Deane and Ben Hobson, as they prepare to take on the challenges of the 2024 Formula Drift season.





A Fusion of Cultures: James Deane's Livery for the 2024 Formula Drift Season
Inspired by the vibrant and impactful designs of the European drift scene, James Deane's livery for 2024 is a testament to the blend of RTR's distinctive style with international flair. The livery introduces more neon colors, especially neon orange, creating a vivid contrast that stands out on the track. This year's design aims to capture the essence of European creativity while maintaining the aggressive and dynamic lines synonymous with RTR.









A Nod to the 90s: Ben Hobson's Livery for the 2024 Formula Drift Season
Ben Hobson's livery draws inspiration from an iconic era of racing—the 90s Pennzoil liveries of the Japanese Grand Touring Car Championship (JGTCC). Merging his signature hot pink with the traditional Pennzoil colors, Ben's Mustang RTR Spec 5-FD becomes a moving tribute to a cherished motorsport legacy, reimagined with a modern twist.









Innovations in Design and Function
The 2024 Mustang RTR Spec 5-FD brings not just visual enhancements but also notable exterior enhancements. Both Mustangs now feature the RTR Signature LED Grille Lights, customized to match the drivers' color themes.









The relocation of rear ventilation to the entire rear decklid, significantly improves airflow, heat reduction, and smoke dispersion, essential for the forthcoming drift battles during this season.





Although both RTR Mustangs exterior components are primarily made of carbon fiber, we haven’t really had exposed carbon fiber until now. Ben's Mustang showcases exposed carbon fiber sections, marrying form and function in a sleek, lightweight package.





Honoring Partnerships and Personal Touches
The heart of our racing endeavors is not just in the cars, but in the people and partnerships that drive us forward. James Deane's Mustang proudly bears the Autozone title sponsorship, while Ben Hobson's Mustang is adorned with Pennzoil's iconic branding, showcasing a strong collaboration rooted in performance and excellence.





Each livery also carries personal elements unique to the drivers—James' features a neon Irish flag and a Deane Motorsports logo on the rear duckbill spoiler which is a nod to his family's motorsport legacy. Both cars prominently display their respective drivers' numbers and the iconic Ford Mustang Running Pony logo, signifying their racing spirit and heritage.

Scheduled to make their first public appearance at Round 1 of Formula Drift in Long Beach, California, these liveries symbolize a new chapter in our racing journey, blending the past's echoes with today's innovations.

"Heya boss...how many colors you think we should throw at the drifty ponies?"

"What kinda question is that? ALL OF THEM, you lug head. And make sure none of it matches nothin!"

Is the RTR grill available to customers able to change colors like this or are we locked into white and amber?

Will the RGB LED grille lights be available for purchase?

@ThreePedalPlow & @Stangerous these are custom-painted lenses to match the livery of each respective driver. We aren't planning to create RGB Grille Lights.

You can use any color you choose. Back before tint was made for lights we were mixing a little black in some clear coat and spraying them, worked great.
