Ford has announced Dirk Muller, Joey Hand, Mike Rockenfeller and Harry Tincknell as full-season drivers for its factory programme in IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship’s GTD Pro class next year.
The announcement comes almost a year after Ford announced grand plans to return to IMSA with Multimatic with two examples of the new-for-2024 Mustang GT3. Hand and Muller will share one of the two factory Mustangs in GTD Pro next year, reuniting the partnership that took a GTLM win at the Rolex 24 at Daytona in 2017.
Tincknell was an obvious choice for Ford given his long history with both the manufacturer and Multimatic, which is also a technical partner in the development of the Mustang GT3. Tincknell scored four victories for Ford during their three seasons together in WEC between 2016-19. Outside of Ford, the British driver won multiple DPi races in IMSA with Mazda in a programme that was also managed by Mutlimatic, and is currently racing a customer Porsche for Proton in WEC.
