Mustang Cup Series Overview

A groundbreaking entry-level racing platform starting the spring of 2025, which bridges the gap between Ford Performance Driving Experiences and the Mustang Challenge. The Mustang Cup offers a professionally organized, club-level racing environment for novice and hobby racers to develop the fundamentals of organized racing on private USAC operated race weekends, alongside other USAC series and events.

The new series, set to debut in 2025, will act as a starting point in the Ford Performance sports car racing pyramid for novice racers.

Each race weekend will feature three 30-minute practice sessions, two separate 15-minute qualifying sessions and two 40-minute races.
