Ford did it with the gt dude. They won at Laguna Secca and at Le mans in their first year. I'm not expecting the mustangs to get first constantly. But in most races, they've been near the back of the pack.
You expect a brand new team with a brand new car to get podiums right out of the gate? Thats not at all realistic. They’re still learning how to setup the car and how to drive it. Not to mention BOP rules.
The saddest part was the car that got hit, was in 2nd pushing for the lead, and almost getting it. He was the fastest of the mustangs in qualifying, so there was a change he would have placed even better.
I do hope the mustangs are competitive some day. Third and fourth isn't bad, but this is the only podium the mustangs have had all season on WEC or IMSA.

Agree 100% I'm recovering from reverse shoulder surgery so I'm "sleeping" on a recliner-had race on and off all night trying to get a glimpse or mention of a blue oval...never happened. At least they made some nice comments when the team got on the podium this morning..in particular noting Bill Fords presence and the history
I don't have a copy of the related documents, but Ford had a program requiring Dealers to have at least 2 chargers, one for the service department and another for the sales department and customer use, well before the mandated and recently cancelled BEV certification program.
