Date:<\/strong> Sunday 10th August 2025
Location:<\/strong> Silverstone Circuit, Northamptonshire<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve just walked off the tarmac, and we\u2019re still buzzing. Ford Fair<\/a> 2025 didn\u2019t just meet expectations\u2014it floored them. Over 4,000 Fords, 15,000 fans, a stacked lineup of features, and the unmistakable feeling that this is the place to be if you’re into fast Fords.<\/p>\n

Brought to life once again with support from headline partner Laird Performance<\/a>, this year\u2019s event pulled together everything that makes this scene tick\u2014track time, club life, one-off builds, and a few surprises you had to see to believe.<\/p>\n

Fastest Fords Display \u2013 Built to Perform, Built to Thrill<\/h2>\n

If you’re a fan of speed, engineering madness, or just love seeing Fords built to dominate, the Fastest Fords Display -sponsored by Liqui Moly<\/a> – was the place to be.<\/p>\n

Curated by the Fast Ford<\/a> team, this year\u2019s display was a brutal mix of power, presence, and track-ready performance. Every car was hand-picked for one reason: it stood out. <\/p>\n

Better still, these weren\u2019t static showpieces. Most of them were unleashed on the track throughout the day too, filling Silverstone with noise, spitting-fire, and tyre-schreeching sideways action.<\/p>\n

Plus, our pal at Academy Motorsport<\/a> brought along their ever-impressive race truck setup, along with not one, but two Mustang race cars! The first was their European GT4 racer, bound for Nurburgring later this week. The second was the Darck Horse Challenge car driven by Chris Harris<\/a> and Chris Hoy at Le Mans recently!<\/p>\n

Here’s just a few of the epic cars on display!<\/p>\n

Guy Martin\u2019s 900bhp Transit Supervan<\/h3>\n

Still one of the most talked-about vehicles of the day. Guy\u2019s N\u00fcrburgring-conquering Supervan isn\u2019t a gimmick\u2014it\u2019s a fully customised, rear-wheel drive, twin-turbo V6 EcoBoost monster pushing 900bhp.<\/p>\n

Built in a shed. Tuned for war. Launched on the \u2019Ring. If you missed it at the Fast Ford stand, you missed something special.<\/p>\n

James Price\u2019s Twin-Turbo V8 Focus<\/h3>\n

Nicknamed the Flexus<\/a>, this thing started life as a \u00a3600 ST170. It\u2019s now a rear-wheel drive animal powered by a twin-turbo Lexus V8, with a 350Z rear end, custom side-exit exhausts, and some of the best fabrication work we\u2019ve seen in years.<\/p>\n

Forget the sleeper life. This car screams performance and looks like nothing else in the paddock.<\/p>\n

Steve McCutcheon\u2019s Mk3 Escort RS Turbo \u2013 Cosworth-Powered Sleeper<\/h3>\n

From a distance, it looks like a clean, slightly-lowered Series 1 Turbo. But under the bonnet? A forged Cosworth YB, T34 hybrid turbo, 4×4 running gear, and a ton of hidden upgrades.<\/p>\n

Fast, focused, and dripping with \u201990s Ford attitude. A true wolf in original paint.<\/p>\n

40 Years of Ford Cosworth \u2013 Sierra, Sapphire, and Escort Icons Together<\/h2>\n

30 cars. Three generations. One legendary badge.<\/p>\n

The Cosworth display<\/a> was a standout moment at Ford Fair 2025. From low-mile survivors to 800bhp track builds, the variety was impressive and the atmosphere unmatched. Sierra RS, Sapphire, and Escort Cossies all stood side by side\u2014a living tribute to four decades of RS heritage.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Cam Cover Trophy and Collector Keyrings<\/h3>\n

Dave Lee of XYZ Fabrications went above and beyond, creating a hand-finished Cosworth YB cam cover trophy for the best car in the display. He also designed custom-numbered keyrings for each owner\u2014a proper collectible for a once-in-a-lifetime moment.<\/p>\n

Cosworth Bookazine \u2013 A Collector\u2019s Must-Have<\/h3>\n

To mark the anniversary, Fast Car launched a brand-new 132-page Ford Cosworth 40th Anniversary Bookazine<\/a> – available to buy on the day.<\/p>\n
