MMR Joins Global Time Attack as Official Series Sponsor for 2026

Global Time Attack is proud to welcome MMR — Modular Motorsports Racing — as an official series sponsor for the 2026 season. Founded more than two decades ago by engineer and racer Mark Luton, MMR has become one of the dominant forces in late-model Ford performance, earning world records and a reputation for engineering without compromise.

With the Mustang’s growing presence in time attack and MMR’s rapidly expanding commitment to road-race and time-attack
product development, this partnership hits at exactly the right moment.

A Leader in Late-Model Ford Performance

For those new to the brand, MMR is a U.S. manufacturer of suspension and engine components for late-model Ford Mustangs, built on a simple mission: design and manufacture innovative, zero-compromise performance parts.

Unlike much of the aftermarket, MMR manufactures its components in-house, leveraging extensive on-track and off-track R&D with an obsession for detail. Every product is built with one priority: the strongest, lightest, most uncompromising solution possible.

MMR is best known for absolutely dominating the Ford OHC/DOHC market, with world records across nearly every Ford DOHC engine platform ever produced. Their flagship achievement? A Ford Coyote engine program exceeding 4,000 horsepower at 10,000 rpm and delivering a staggering 5.67 @ 265 mph in the quarter mile — a benchmark that still turns heads across every corner of motorsports.

Now, that same engineering energy is shifting into time attack.

Engineering Built for Time Attack Competition

MMR has recently developed a full line of road-race engines and suspension components engineered specifically for time attack and circuit performance. The results have already been speaking for themselves — in both customer cars and MMR’s own competition programs.

“We’re very proud to see these products performing at such a high level,” said Luton. “They were built for exactly this environment.”

Why MMR Chose Global Time Attack

As more Mustangs enter time attack competition and more Ford builders push into the discipline, partnering with GTA for 2026 became an obvious next step for MMR.

“GTA felt natural for us,” Luton shared. “Our commitment to time-attack-specific product development is growing, and we’re seeing a real wave of Mustang owners coming into the sport.”

Time attack brings a type of challenge MMR loves — the high adrenaline of drag racing, but with far more seat time and technical depth.

“It’s the same thrill, but stretched out. More strategy, more control, more time to do what we love behind the wheel.”

MMR Will Support Competitors Trackside in 2026

MMR will attend select GTA events throughout the 2026 season, offering:

• Technical support
• Suspension components available for purchase on-site
• Common spares
• Build advice and product guidance for Mustang owners and all GTA competitors

“Our staff is always available,” Luton said. “A great part is nothing without the support behind it.”

A New Era, and a New Unlimited Mustang Coming

MMR’s motorsports roots run deep. Luton originally came from a professional downhill mountain biking background, transitioning into motorsports after injury forced a shift. From there, he worked with major motorsports manufacturers before founding MMR over 21 years ago.

Over the years, the team has built and raced many cars, but their world-record Coyote program stands as their defining statement:
When MMR commits to a challenge, expect fireworks.

Now, the next chapter is coming fast — a brand-new 2025 Unlimited-class Time Attack Mustang, currently in the final stages of completion.

“Watch out,” Luton hinted. “When we set our minds to something, big things happen.”

A Message to GTA Drivers and Fans

“Thank you for having us. We’re excited to support the series, and we hope to encourage more Mustang owners to get out and enjoy GTA time attack and the community around it.

If we can help anyone — any team, any make, any model — with manufacturing or development, come see us at the track or give us a call. We’re here to help.”

For Those Building a Serious Time Attack Car in 2026

MMR wants competitors to know they’re committed to both product quality and customer support.

“Our parts are proven on our own cars and on our customers’ cars. And when you need us, we’re one phone call away — which matters more now than ever.”

MMR’s entry into Global Time Attack marks a major moment not just for Mustang competitors, but for the sport as a whole. The engineering pedigree that defined MMR’s drag racing dominance is now locked onto time attack — and the 2026 season is shaping up to be something special.

Welcome to the family, Modular Motorsports Racing. Let’s go make some history. – Jason Dienhart, GTA.
