Whoever came up with the old stereotype that American cars can’t turn had a good basis in reality. Let’s just admit it. As much as we love to glorify those big, loud, in-your-face muscle cars of the 1960’s, they weren’t exactly gifted in the turning arts. In fact, compared to most mid-size family sedans, they weren’t even particularly fast. But times change, and so does muscle car technology.
Which is why is comes as no surprise to us that in this weekend’s World Challenge race at Infineon Raceway, Mustangs came to dominate the GTS class as this World Challenge news report lays out.
This weekend’s race was actually a double header, with races taking place on both Saturday and Sunday. In both races Paul Brown, driver of a BOSS 302S, took second place, giving him a solid lead in the overall GTS class standings. In the first race though, an Acura would edge out the win, followed by Brown and three other Mustangs.
The second race of the weekend completely belong to Ford though, as Ben Crosland and Paul Brown battled for first, with Crosland eventually overtaking Brown during the final two laps. In all, out of six pole positions, Mustangs grabbed five. Crosland’s victory secured him a spot in second in the overall GTS class standings, behind brown, meaning that the final few races of the season will certainly be heated as both drivers strive for domination. And it’s no surprise that they’re both driving Mustangs.
