Just a couple weeks ago, we shared some pretty exciting news regarding my new role as a Global Ford Racing Ambassador. It’s an opportunity that resonates with me, connecting my love for anything with wheels, my passion for performance, and my long-standing appreciation for the Ford brand. It's been an absolute blast diving deeper into the world of Ford Racing, seeing how innovation on the track translates directly to the incredible vehicles you drive every day.

Since that announcement, there’s something else that I want to share. Something that brings my new role right to the heart of the Raptor Community. So, mark your calendars … because I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be joining you all at Raptor Rally 2025 in Lake Havasu, Arizona!

My connection with the Raptor goes way back. I picked up my first one in 2017. It wasn't just a truck; it was a statement. It was freedom and everything I wanted as a kid. I've had some of my favorite adventures behind the wheel of a Raptor, and seeing how it handles everything I throw at it has always impressed me. It's more than just a truck; it’s a lifestyle.

That’s why joining Raptor Rally feels like a natural extension of my ambassadorship. This isn't just an event; it's the ultimate gathering for those who live and breathe the off-road life. I’ve heard so much about the camaraderie, the shared stories, and the joy of putting these beasts through their paces in their natural habitat. I can’t wait to experience it firsthand, to see your Raptors in action, and to meet so many of you who are just as passionate about these machines as I am.

I’m also excited to announce that my clothing company, Enchante, will be working with Ford to create some specialty items to celebrate Raptor Rally. For those attending, you’ll get a sneak peek at what we’re working on and maybe even a preview of what’s to come.

Let’s get this thing rolling. I’ll see you all in Arizona.

Cheers,

Daniel Ricciardo
