FASTEST FWD FORD
While the show day is Sunday, many show-goers camp overnight and make use of a Ford-only RWYB session from 5pm on Saturday evening. And this year, something pretty special happened… The first run of Fordonly session saw Phil Reeves line up on the start line in his mental Mk2 Fiesta. Fresh from winning the FWD drag series, Phil had one goal in his mind for the weekend, to become the fastest ever front-wheel drive Ford in Europe. The previous record stood for some seven years, and Phil would need to better a 9.376 second run if he was to take the crown. The lights went out, Phil made the perfect run and as he crossed the line the time flashed up on the gantry… 9.311 seconds at 157mph! Well done Phil, officially now the fastest FWD Ford in Europe – full feature on this epic car coming soon!
