Born and bred in Darwin, the 28-year-old will drive for RM Race Cars in the new-for-2026 V8-powered one-make class, competing against other experienced Supercars drivers and a growing list of dynamic future stars.
Fullwood will drive for Ryan McLeod’s multi-car outfit RM Race Cars. He will saddle up in the #92 Dark Horse R chassis, last raced for the team by Patrick Neville at Queensland Raceway.
The Mustang Cup drive marks Fullwood’s return to top level national motorsport competition after he missed out on a Supercars Championship seat this year.
Fullwood won the 2019 Super2 Series and graduated to Supercars in 2021, holding a full-time drive in the championship until the end of 2025.
During his five years at the top level, Fullwood scored three podium finishes and three top-10 results in the Bathurst 1000.
His experience in V8-powered race cars will fast track his Mustang Cup learnings, but there’s no chance he’ll have an easy drive to the front.
Josh Anderson leads the inaugural series, marginally ahead of Formula Ford graduate Joe Fawcett and the category’s most successful and experienced star, Jack Perkins.
Perkins will be joined for the second-straight round by his Triple Eight team-mate Oli Wickham, who showed the entire field a clean pair of heels in his Mustang Cup debut at Queensland Raceway last month.
The strong field of 13 identical Mustang Dark Horse Rs will compete in the first-ever Shannons SpeedSeries round at Hidden Valley Raceway this weekend (July 24-26).
Both Saturday and Sunday’s qualifying and races will be broadcast on Foxtel and Kayo Sports for Australian residents. International viewers will be able to tune in live and free on Ford Racing’s YouTube channel.

“This is a great opportunity for me to go out and have a spin on my old home ground,” said Fullwood.
“The Mustang Cup is a new, exciting category. I’ve been watching it from afar, and it looks pretty cool. I’m excited to get in, have a squirt and see what it’s all about.
“The category looks well placed for young drivers trying to climb the ranks and gain experience before moving to Super2 or other GT racing.
“They have a great slick tyre, a big full-size car with decent horsepower, so you can learn many fundamentals to move forward in your career.
“It’s very affordable, it’s got national TV coverage, and Ford is putting a lot of effort in – both for this and all its global motorsport programs.
“It’s the second biggest Australian motorsport championship, and I know that most of the motorsport fans up there are looking forward to it.
