iRacing.com - New Previews of Ford Mustang & Mid Ohio

iRacing.com has released new preview screenshots and in-game video of upcoming content additions - Ford Mustang FR500S & Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

The Ford Racing Mustang FR500 is a highly tuned race variant of the Ford Mustang, featuring V8 engine. These are turn key race cars not designed for public road use.
FR500S is powered by Ford's 4.6L V8 engine, it is rated at 325HP. The FR500S is often slotted in between the FR500C and FR500GT. The car was designed by both Ford Racing and Miller Motorsports for the Mustang Challenge series. The car features similar aerodynamic parts like those used on the FR500GT, but uses a DOT approved racing tire BFGoodrich g-Force R1.


Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course is a road course auto racing facility. It was opened in 1962 by Les Griebling and several Mansfield-area businessmen as a location for weekend sports car racing. The track opened as a 15-turn, 2.4 mile (3.86 km) road circuit run clockwise. The back portion of the track allows speeds approaching 180 mph (290 km/h). There is grandstand seating for 10,000 spectators, and three observation mounds alongside the track raise the capacity to over 75,000.
