FORD FALCON BA V8 SUPERCAR
2003
This car was raced by Glen Seton in the 2003 and 2004 Australian V8 Supercar Series.
In 2001, Prodrive bought Tickford and with it came the engineering business in Australia that produced the high performance road cars for Ford. The business was rebranded Ford Performance Vehicles and to support this, Prodrive created a new Ford works race team in the Australian V8 Supercar Series called Ford Performance Racing.
The team competed for ten years from 2003 to 2012.
