It was the third time Ricciardo has sampled an Aussie V8 racer, following earlier outings in Triple Eight’s unique Sandman Supercar at Sandown, and laps in Rick Kelly’s Nissan Altima at Calder.
The car Ricciardo drove today is based at Ford’s HQ in the States and is often driven by Ford CEO Jim Farley in demonstration runs.
“I’ve driven pretty much every Ford under the sun and just got out of this bad boy right here,” said Ricciardo in a social media video for Ford Performance.

“It was a lot of fun. A big thanks to Ford for having me out here.”
