| Notes: |
Canadian-based engineering company Multimatic has completed an agreement with Ford Racing Technology to be the constructor of the Ford Focus Daytona Prototype race car. Daytona Prototypes will be the name of the major championship class featured in the Rolex Sports Car Series beginning in 2003. The Daytona Prototype coupe is a flat-bottomed two-seat, closed-cockpit, mid-engine racer with a complete frame (non-stressed engine).
Multimatic and Ford's car will be powered by a Robert Yates-developed Ford modular V8 and will carry brand identification from the Ford Focus. Ford Racing will lend technical support to the project and will direct the development of the new modular-based racing engine.
Multimatic Motorsports has a long history with Ford, including being the first team in the world to race and win with the four-cam, four-valve modular V8 engine. These engines were used in Multimatic's Coca-Cola Mustangs that captured eight of nine poles, five lap records and won the Motorola Cup manufacturer's championship for Ford in 1999.
The Ford Focus Daytona Prototype, developed and built by Multimatic, will test in October and its competition debut will be the 2003 Rolex 24 at Daytona. Cars will be run by an in-house team as well as being made available to customers. |
