Overview
- Ford announced on June 12, 2026 that Matt Campbell, Tom Blomqvist and Nick Yelloly join Logan Sargeant, Sebastian Priaulx and Mike Rockenfeller to finalise its six‑driver roster for the 2027 FIA World Endurance Championship.
- The car will follow LMDh rules using an ORECA chassis paired with a Ford‑developed 5.4‑litre naturally aspirated Coyote V8 and the mandated spec‑hybrid system.
- Ford will run the programme in‑house and begins active development with a planned prototype rollout and European on‑track testing in August focused on performance, reliability and hybrid integration.
- The new signings arrive from rival factory programmes: Campbell leaves Porsche after a decade and Blomqvist and Yelloly move from Acura/Meyer Shank Racing as that GTP effort pauses at year end.
- Drivers are set to work in simulators and on track to refine Ford’s control systems and car setup, a development role intended to speed reliability gains and race readiness ahead of the March 2027 season start.
