Ford is renewing its sponsorship of the 2015 Red Bull Car Park Drift regional series for the second consecutive year, with the all-new 2015 Mustang making its debut as Red Bull Car Park Drift’s Official Car for 2015.

This year Red Bull athlete and drifting legend Abdo ‘Dado’ Feghali will be showcasing his skills in a customised 5.0L V8, rear wheel drive Mustang throughout the Red Bull Car Park Drift Qualifier rounds around the region.

“We are excited about our partnership with the Red Bull Car Park Drift for the second year straight, and can’t wait to unleash the 2015 Mustang on the scene as Official Red Bull Car Park Drift car,” said Paul Anderson, Marketing director of Ford Middle East & North Africa.

“With 50 years of heritage, the 2015 Ford Mustang is more powerful than ever. The way it drives and sounds gives the visceral experience that makes drivers just want to get in and hit the road,” Anderson added. “And there’s no better platform for Mustang to show its might than here at the Red Bull Car Park Drift, the Middle East’s premier drifting arena.”

“As the Red Bull Car Park Drift 2015 season is about to kick off in the UAE, we are thrilled to have Ford on board with the all-new Mustang,” said Alberto Chahoud, Area Communications Manager for Red Bull Middle East and Africa. “With such strategic partners like Ford, we are confident to offer motorsports fans unprecedented levels of drifting across the region.”

For his part, Abdo Feghali, who is also the sports director for Red Bull Car Park Drift, said: “I’m very excited to see the Ford Mustang again as the official Red Bull Car Park Drift car. As with our previous staging, we are taking this event to new heights with more drifting action that fans will surely love. I’m happy to put the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang in this challenging arena once again!”
