FORD FAIR PREVIEW
There will be plenty going on both on and off track at Ford Fair 2016, here’s our top 10 reasons to visit this year’s show...
10 top reasons you should visit the biggest show of the year!
1 SHOW & SHINE
The Show & Shine competition, sponsored by Autoperfekt, brings together some of the best examples of the UK’s fast Fords to do battle for the coveted Show & Shine crown.
2 CONCOURS
The concours competitions have always been a big part of Ford Fair, and this year is no different. In fact, 2016 is expected to see even more entrants than ever before! If you’re not familiar with concours, it’s pretty simple – the best-presented car wins!
3 FORD DISPLAYS
As the biggest gathering of fast Fords in the country, Ford Fair has, and always will have, the numerous dedicated clubs that make up the fast Ford scene at its heart. As well as these, 2016 sees the introduction of the non- club paddock for owners not belonging to a specific group too. Be sure to take the time to walk around these huge displays, as the club and display cars are, without doubt, what makes Ford Fair so special!
4 TRACK ACTION
Silverstone’s legendary National circuit will be in full swing throughout the day. Take to the track in your own fast Ford, or head to the viewing areas to catch a glimpse of the action. As well as the public track sessions there will also be sponsor and club sessions, classic Ford sessions, and even some of the UK’s Fastest Fords.
5 CLASSIC ZONE
Fans of slightly older fast Fords will need to head to the Classic Zone! Headed up by Classic Ford magazine, the Classic Zone will be packed full of the finest Blue Ovals from yesteryear. Here is where you’ll find all the classic Ford club displays, with everything from angry Anglias to zany Zephyrs on show!
6 RETAIL VILLAGE
Found at the top end of the show, the Retail Village is huge area dedicated to traders, exhibitors, and the vast autojumbles too. Here you’ll find everything you could ever need for your fast Ford from performance upgrades, styling products, hard-to-source accessories, and even Ford-based clothing, plus loads more!
7 FAST FORD MAGAZINE
Right at the centre of the show you’ll find the UK’s number one Ford tuning magazine – Fast Ford. Packed full of past, present, and future feature cars our stand will play host to some of the very best fast Fords the UK has to offer. We’ll also be hosting the UK’s Fastest Fords when they’re not busy blasting around the track.
On top of the awesome Blue Ovals on display, you’ll also be able to pick up the latest magazine (the yet-to-be-released issue 374 will be available to buy on the day, a week earlier than it hits the shops!), take advantage of some fantastic show- exclusive deals, get your hands on branded clothing, or grab your Ford Fair commemorative plaque.

9 MOUNTUNE
Once again Ford Fair is sponsored by legendary Ford tuning specialists, mountune. This year they’ll be bringing a huge selection of demo cars and parts to show off, as well as offering a free fitting service in the mountune Garage! On top of that, they’re also bringing along BTCC drivers Mat Jackson and Andrew Jordan too!
10 FORD LIVE ACTION ARENA
Your favourite manufacturer will be back at Ford Fair 2016, and they’ll bringing a selection of the latest fast Fords and the famous Live Action Arena with them. While they’re all very tight-lipped about just what cars they’ll be displaying this year, they’re bound to be impressive, and you’re bound to want one!
The Live Action Arena will once again be at the centre of the show. If you like seeing fast Fords smoking tyres, pulling skids, and generally being thrashed about then the Live Action Arena is definitely not to be missed!
