A new era awaits
Effective from the beginning of the 2026 Supercars Championship season, Triple Eight will again race under the Blue Oval, and it is planned that they will become the official Ford Homologation Team.
The initial partnership between Ford and Triple Eight, spanning from 2003 to the end of 2009, earned three Bathurst 1000 victories for Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup, back-to-back Drivers' championships for Whincup, and a record of on-track dominance that cemented their place in Australian motorsport.
The decision to reunite was a carefully considered convergence of timing, ambition, and a shared belief in the potential of combining Supercars powerhouse team Triple Eight with the Ford Mustang, to tackle the Gen3 era together.
