The 2026 season will see Ford introduce the Mustang GT3 Evo, an early mid-cycle update to its GT3 contender. A key player in the update has been HRT, which runs the car in the DTM, among other categories.
HRT was forced to postpone the test debut of the new Evo package for the Mustang for a second time. In mid-December at Portimao, a consequential technical issue following a customer crash was the cause, while poor weather in Estoril in January prevented the Evo from making its first planned appearance. The plan is now to run the test in early February in Portimao, as team principal Ulrich Fritz revealed.
