Miedecke Motorsport has been appointed the Multimatic agent for Australia and New Zealand following its success this season.
George Miedecke and Rylan Gray secured the Ford Mustang GT4’s first global win at the opening round for Monochrome GT4 Australia at Phillip Island. The duo has added further victories at The Bend and Queensland Raceway, plus a second Mustang GT4 made its debut in Sydney entered by Gomersall Motorsport.
Building on the success and popularity of the Mustang GT4, Miedecke Motorsport has solidified its relationship with Multimatic to provide a comprehensive customer support service.
Canadian-based Multimatic is a respected manufacturing and engineering firm entrusted by Ford to develop the Mustang GT4 for competition.
“We’re very proud to formalise the relationship with Multimatic,” said Miedecke.
“We’ve proven that the GT4 Mustang is a solid package and very strong especially with the Australian tracks. I feel like between Rylan, myself, dad (Andrew Miedecke) and Chris O’Toole on the engineering side, we’ve been able to advance the program.
“To see that faith rewarded in a program with GT4 where we can help the other Mustang customers is a cool feeling.”
Inspiration has been taken by Miedecke from existing customer support programs to ensure a thorough service is provided.
“We’ll be providing support to all Mustang teams in Monochrome GT4 Australia for the foreseeable future,” he stated. “We’ll have a really high level of support, so if a Mustang customer has an issue or a crash they will be able to come straight to our truck. It’ll be similar to the Porsche model where the customer buys the part, fits it on their car and keeps on racing. Especially, given the fact the Mustang GT4 is produced in Canada and some of the parts are very specialised, it’s a great thing for customers where they can have that peace of mind knowing 99.9% of the time we’ll have the part they require.
“It will be a fully mature support program with a truck full of components and customers will be able to rely on that.”
Interest in the Mustang GT4 is high as Miedecke expects at least four to be on the Monochrome GT4 Australia grid in 2025. Plus, there is an option for more to arrive ready for the start of next season.
“From a timeframe point of view, getting a Mustang GT4 for next year is getting tight,” Miedecke explained.
“There’s now four that have been sold in Australia, with Gomersall’s, our one and we’ve sold another, which will be on the grid next year. We have an opportunity for one or possibly two more before the start of next year and we’re currently discussing with a few interested buyers on those.”
Customers will have the ability to purchase parts through not only Miedecke Motorsport, but from local Ford dealers courtesy of the Mustang GT4 featuring a selection of production-based components.
“Interestingly, we don’t put any restriction on customers buying standard parts from Ford dealers and that’s part of the program as well,” said Miedecke.
“Between races, customers are more than welcome to go to their local Ford dealer and purchase original equipment, which is a great thing too.
“Having the 650 Mustang going on sale in Australia means that our customers will be spoiled for choice with support no matter where they are based, there’s a Ford dealer near you to provide the standard parts. We at Miedecke Motorsport will provide the bulk of the racing stuff.
“While the Mustang GT4 is built in Canada, the gearbox is a homegrown Holinger transmission, which can be serviced here in Australia.
“This again adds to the cost effective nature of this car and one of the reasons why we think it’ll be popular with customers. We think it will come close to being the most prolific model in Monochrome GT4 Australia and for good reason.”
Miedecke is delighted to forge a stronger association with Multimatic after flying the flag for the Mustang GT4 this season in Australia.
“It was a goal for us to have a close relationship with Multimatic,” Miedecke said.
“We were the second order worldwide for the new GT4 and to repay the faith with the results we’ve been getting, plus now extending this into a business relationship is fantastic.”
The final round of Monochrome GT4 Australia is at the Bathurst International on November 8-10.
