Ford made several major announcements regarding its participation in multiple series at the unveiling of the Oracle Red Bull Racing Formula 1 Team's livery for the 2026 Formula 1 season.

In addition to unveiling the liveries for both the Red Bull Racing Formula 1 Team and Racing Bulls team, marking the Blue Oval's return to Formula 1 for the first time in 22 years, Ford also announced the powertrain for its factory-backed FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) effort, as well as the team's driver lineup, and revealed that the new Ford Mustang Dark Horse SC will debut in the NASCAR Cup Series in 2027

Under the moniker "Red Bull Ford Powertrains," the automaker is supporting the build of the Formula 1 team's power unit for the 2026 season. Using advanced manufacturing to cut lead times by more than half, Ford Racing is currently fabricating unique components for the combustion engine, charge air system and energy recovery systems for the team's power units.

Ford Racing also announced its driver lineup for its FIA WEC Hypercar team, which will consist of veteran sportscar drivers and current members of the Ford stable, Sebastian Priaulx and Mike Rockenfeller, as well as former Formula 1 driver Logan Sargeant.

Set to begin competition in 2027, Ford's ORECA-based Hypercar will be powered by Ford's naturally aspirated 5.8L V8 Coyote engine, which is already found under the hood of the Ford Mustang Dark Horse R, GT4 and GT3 competitors.

In other news, Ford will debut the Mustang Dark Horse SC in the NASCAR Cup Series in 2027. Based on the newly revealed street car powered by a supercharged 5.2L V8, the Dark Horse SC will make its official debut in the 2027 Daytona 500.
