FordFest What’s On

Classic Ford Magazine Display

If modern day Fords like the Focus RS and Fiesta ST don’t float your boat, then head over to the Classic Ford magazine stand, as you’ll find all the iconic Blue Ovals from yesteryear. From Sierra RS Cosworths to the spirited Escort Mexico, the Classic Ford magazine stand will host a variety of modified iconic Fords. And of course, while you’re there, you can also pick up a subscription to the fabulous magazine.

Track Time

Get ready to unleash your car’s potential at the legendary Mallory Park Circuit. This iconic 1.35-mile track, nestled in the heart of Leicestershire, will be open to Ford Fest attendees for thrilling 20-minute track sessions during the show. Experience the circuit’s challenging sweeping bends and test your driving skills in a safe, controlled environment. Whether you’re in a classic Escort or a modern Focus ST, you’ll have the chance to push your Ford to its limits without worrying about speed limits. Professional instructors will be on hand to guide you, ensuring an unforgettable high-octane experience on one of the UK’s most renowned racing circuits!

Street Elite

Want to see some of the finest modified Blue Ovals the UK has to offer? Well, you’ll be wanting to head to the Street Elite display. Street Elite is Ford Fest’s version of a show and shine competition, but instead of just judging the cars on their cleanliness, the judges will be looking at the modifications and finish of the cars.

Street Elite is where the crème de la crème of show car builds gather and these flawless Fords will unite to create one of the most spectacular displays of the event. The winner will strut away with the trophy, detailing kit bag and best of all, endless bragging rights.

Ford Cosworth 40th Anniversary Display

To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Ford Sierra Cosworth, we’re thrilled to showcase 40 of the UK’s finest Cossies in a spectacular display! This incredible lineup will feature a diverse array of models, from factory original through to highly-tuned and heavily modified. Each car represents a unique piece of automotive history, making this display a must-see for every Sierra enthusiast. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the scene, there will be something to excite every Cossie lover. Join us for this unforgettable celebration of Ford’s legendary performance icon!

Mk2 & Mk3 Escort Anniversary Display

It’s a rear versus front-wheel-drive showdown as we showcase 50 years of the Mk2 and 45 years of the Mk3. Incredibly, Ford’s Escort celebrates two major anniversaries in 2025 — 50 years of the Mk2, and 45 years of the Mk3 — and at FordFest we’ll be marking the occasions with a specially-curated display featuring examples of both from across the scene.

20 Years of the Ford Focus ST

Believe it or not, it’s been 20 years since Ford first revealed the Focus ST. While Ford did release the Mk1 Focus ST170 before this, many enthusiasts consider the Mk2 to be the first true ST. So to celebrate it’s 20th birthday, and to mark the end of the Focus ST production as Ford ceases the model at the end of 2025, we’re curating a special anniversary display for the Mk2 Focus ST, bringing together some of the best examples in the UK for one last hoorah.

60 Years of the Ford Transit

Join us in celebrating this major milestone for Ford’s ‘Backbone Of Britain’ at FordFest 2025. Over the years derivatives have become rally barges, motor-homes, four-wheel-drive load luggers, crew buses, flat beds, riot vans, mobile libraries, pop group transport, executive transport and more… The original Transit was not only bigger, better, faster and more versatile than any other such van on the market in Europe, but it was also fun to drive, and we’ll be celebrating the model’s 60th birthday with a special display of classic models at FordFest.
