Racing is where our story began.

In 1901 Henry Ford climbed into a car he built himself Sweepstakes and beat Americas most famous driver. He wasnt a racer but he had to win. He did. Ford Motor Company was born from that victory.

That fighting spirit lives on in Ford Racing today. Were the engineers strategists and competitors who bring Fords track-tested edge into every vehicle we build. Every track every stage every proving ground thats where we prove ourselves.

The result: one of the worlds most iconic brands legendary nameplates and a team unmatched in the industry.

Our mantra: Race to win engineer to lead.

If youre a competitor innovator or performance obsessive Ford Racing is where you belong. Help us write the next chapter.
