#66 Stefan Mücke

Sponsor	Ford
Hometown	Berlin, Germany
Birthday	NOV 22, 1981

Stefan Mücke is a championship-winning sportscar driver. The German started his career in go-karts and single-seaters before honing his craft in the German DTM series. After eight years with Aston Martin, during which time he has won many of sportscar racing’s biggest events, Stefan switched to Ford for 2016. He was one of the first of the WEC drivers to get his hands on the all-new Ford GT by competing at Daytona in January 2016.

Along with his French team-mate Olivier Pla, Mücke took the first WEC pole position for a WEC-entered Ford GT at Fuji in Japan in 2016. In 2017, a podium finish at Spa and a run of fourth places has left the #66 drivers with a point to prove in 2018.
