Since its competitive launch globally in 2024, the Mustang has been represented in 11 GT3 spec championships across five continents.
In the No. 64 entry, DTM full-season competitors Arjun Maini and Finn Wiebelhaus will be joined by Michael Tosi, who makes his Mustang GT3 debut. Sharing the No. 65 car are GT World Challenge competitor Fabio Scherer, GT Summer Series and ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring driver David Schumacher, and team founder Hubert Haupt.

DRIVER QUOTES
ARJUN MAINI, No. 64 Haupt Racing Team Ford Mustang GT3 – “I’m very excited to be back in the Asian Le Mans Series after a long break and to contest my first endurance race in the Ford Mustang GT3. The team is very well prepared, and we’re all eager to give it our all. Let’s see what we can achieve.”
FINN WIEBELHAUS, No. 64 Haupt Racing Team Ford Mustang GT3 – “I’m really happy to be back behind the wheel of the Ford Mustang GT3. We have a strong driver line-up, and hopefully we can score some good points here at Paul Ricard in the opening round of the ALMS Championship.”
MICHAEL TOSI, No. 64 Haupt Racing Team Ford Mustang GT3 – “Testing with the team in Portimão was an incredible experience, and I’m really grateful for the opportunity. Sharing the Mustang GT3 with guys like Arjun and Finn—who are exceptionally fast—has been invaluable; being able to learn from drivers at their level has taught me so much. I can’t wait to get out there and race with Haupt Racing Team. It’s definitely going to be a steep learning curve with prototype traffic and managing tire degradation. In a four-hour race with a 90-minute minimum drive time for Bronze drivers, there’s a lot of responsibility on your shoulders to hand the car off in a strong position.”
HOW HAVE YOU BEEN ADJUSTING TO THE MUSTANG GT3? “Every step up the Ford Racing Sports Car Ladder has actually felt natural. Mustang Challenge instills a real sense of discipline that prepared me well for the GT4, and moving up to the GT3 has been the exact same story. At its core, you can tell it’s still fundamentally a Mustang. That predictable front-end V8 feel you carry through the entire lineup, and having that common DNA across the platform has made what could be a difficult transition feel surprisingly seamless.”
FABIO SCHERER, No. 65 Haupt Racing Team Ford Mustang GT3 – “I’m super excited to join HRT for the Asian Le Mans Series. It’s a bit of a return to my roots, just in a different car this time with the Mustang. I think we have a really strong line-up and great potential as a team. I’m looking forward to getting things started and kicking off the season in Paul Ricard."
DAVID SCHUMACHER, No. 65 Haupt Racing Team Ford Mustang GT3 – “I’m really looking forward to racing in the Asian Le Mans Series this weekend. It’s a great opportunity to get back on track and compete in a highly competitive field. Our focus is on making the most of every session, working together as a team and putting ourselves in a strong position for the races. I’m motivated and ready to give it everything to achieve the best possible result.”
