IMOGEN RADBURN Among Dark Horse Junior Drivers as McLeod Team Enters Cup

February 11, 2026

• Ryan McLeod Race Cars is bringing serious firepower to the 2026 Motorcraft Mustang Cup with up to five Dark Horse Rs and factory Ford Racing support. The team’s Le Mans experience gives them a real advantage – they’ve already proven these cars can handle the big stage, and now they’re ready to show what Australian racing has been missing.
• IMOGEN RADBURN has secured her spot in the Dark Horse Junior class alongside Matt Kiss and Josh Trappett, making this one of the most promising junior lineups we’ve seen. While Trappett gets the spotlight stepping up from Queensland Excel Series, we’re watching to see how RADBURN handles the transition to this rear-wheel-drive, V8-powered machinery that’s designed to develop the next generation of racing talent.
• The timing couldn’t be better for emerging drivers like RADBURN to make their mark in a category that Ford Racing actually cares about developing. With genuine manufacturer support and a proven pathway system, this isn’t just another spec series – it’s a legitimate stepping stone that could actually lead somewhere for drivers who’ve been waiting for their shot at proper machinery.
