Ford Performance and Multimatic Motorsports win big with American Racing Wheels
Ford Performance and Multimatic Motorsports made history at the 2025 Rolex 24 at Daytona, clinching a hard-fought victory with the Mustang GT3. Battling through one of the toughest endurance races in the world, the No. 65 Mustang GT3, equipped with American Racing forged wheels, secured the top spot in the GTD Pro class. This marks the first global GT3 victory for Ford’s latest track weapon and a monumental achievement in endurance racing.
A Historic Triumph for the Mustang GT3
The grueling 24-hour race saw the No. 65 Ford Multimatic Motorsports Mustang GT3, driven by Dennis Olsen, Christopher Mies, and Frédéric Vervisch, rise to the top after a nail-biting finish. Holding off fierce competition, the Mustang showcased its power, durability, and superior engineering to claim victory in the GTD Pro class. Not far behind, the No. 64 Mustang GT3, piloted by Seb Priaulx, Mike Rockenfeller, and Austin Cindric, secured a podium finish in third place — an outstanding performance for the team. Ford’s latest victory adds to its rich legacy at Daytona, marking the company’s 20th overall win at the iconic event. With Mustang's history of success stretching back to 1967, this latest triumph cements its place as a true endurance racing contender.
The Power of American Racing Forged Wheels
The Mustang GT3’s performance at Daytona wasn’t just about raw horsepower, it was about the right combination of engineering, aerodynamics, and superior wheel technology. Built for endurance and track domination, the American Racing AR724 forged wheels played a crucial role in delivering strength, lightweight construction, and heat resistance to handle the punishing demands of a 24-hour battle. Every lap, every corner, and every pit stop put these wheels to the test and they delivered flawlessly.
Track-Inspired Performance for the Street
You don’t have to be a pro racer to experience the same level of performance and design excellence. The American Racing AR952 GT Street is built for drivers who demand the best, whether on the street or the track. Inspired by the AR724 used on the Mustang GT3, the AR952 combines a purpose-driven split 5-spoke design with Flow Formed Technology for a lightweight yet strong wheel. Its arced face profile enhances strength while optimizing brake cooling, making it perfect for spirited driving and high-performance applications. If you want to bring a piece of the Mustang GT3’s Daytona-winning DNA to your ride, the AR952 GT Street is the perfect way to do it.
Looking Ahead
A huge congratulations to Ford Performance, Multimatic Motorsports, and the entire Mustang GT3 team for this incredible achievement at Daytona. This victory is a testament to hard work, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of performance. As the IMSA season continues, we look forward to seeing more success on the track and more ways to bring that winning spirit to drivers everywhere.
