Ford Multimatic Motorsports will have a radically different driver lineup for the 2025 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season, with only Mike Rockenfeller held over from the 2024 full-season lineup. Ford factory drivers Christopher Mies and Frederic Vervisch will pilot the No. 64 Ford Mustang GT3, while Multimatic driver Seb Priaulx, who scored two victories with AO Racing in GTD PRO in 2024, will join Rockenfeller in the No. 65.
“Race drivers are the key differentiator in the battle for success on the track,” said Mark Rushbrook, global director, Ford Performance Motorsports, in a blog post. “At Ford, our drivers are more than competitors; they’re family. This sense of camaraderie makes decisions about our roster challenging and deeply personal. After closing out our debut IMSA season with the Mustang GT3 a month ago, the Ford Multimatic Motorsports team is focused on the 2025 season. This week we will be running at the traditional Daytona Test ahead of the first big race of 2025 and introducing our driver lineup — a blend of experience, youth, and exceptional talent.”
Mies and Vervisch were the endurance additions for Ford Multimatic Motorsports in 2024. They replace Joey Hand and Dirk Muller.
“It’s been a dream of mine to be in IMSA full-time,” said Mies. “I got a taste of the Mustang GT3 in this series during the endurance races, and we had some good results. The dream is now a reality. I’m looking forward to competing alongside Fred , who I’ve known for a long time. We know the team and car, so I’m excited to compete in this championship.”
Vervisch added: “It’s a big honor to be racing on the factory program in the No. 65 Ford Mustang GT3. Ford and Multimatic Motorsports have given so much trust in me, which means a lot. I will do everything I can, alongside Christopher and the entire team, to deliver results.”
Priaulx, who did half the season with AO Racing before being called away to fulfill his duties with Multimatic, takes the place of Harry Tincknell alongside Rockenfeller.
“Multimatic Motorsports has been my home since Larry gave me a chance in the Mustang during the 2019 season, so it’s nice to be back where I started in GT racing,” explained Priaulx. “I have experience competing in this championship, and I think we’ll bring a strong package into this upcoming year.”
