2010 FIA GT3 Mustang
Brad posted some photos of the new Marc VDS Team GT3 Mustang and I wanted to start a thread.

The official launch of the Marc VDS Racing Team provided an ideal opportunity to reveal the all-new Ford Mustang Marc VDS GT3 developed by the team in conjunction with Multimatic in Canada
The latest addition to the FIA GT3 European Championship grid weighs in at just 1350kg and features a 5.3 litre V8 engine, which produces 560BHP. These performance figures, combined with the all-new transaxle on the car, guarantee that the Ford Mustang Marc VDS GT3 will be a serious contender during it's debut season with Eric De Doncker and Scott Maxwell at the wheel.

26/05/2010 Difficult start for the Marc VDS Ford of De Doncker-Maxwell
http://gt3europe.com/newsitem.php?key=555
I had wondered why they had to sit out the first event. Hopefully they will become more competitive throughout the season!
Due to a still not so clear administrative ruling the Marc VDS Racing Team was forced to sit out the opening race of the FIA GT3 championship in Silverstone, but for the second race in Brno they were admitted to the race. It turned out to be a difficult debut of the Ford GT, because the car suffered from road holding problems that turned out to be unsolvable on the twisty Czech track. During qualifying the Ford GT3 managed a 28th and 27th time, to finish on a 23rd and 20th spot in the races. Not the results the team had in mind, but it makes very much clear what the objectives for the rest of the program are.
