Ford Fair 2025: Why the Fast Ford Display is the UK's Premier Blue Oval Event

5 min read

Discover the Fast Ford display at Ford Fair 2025. See hand-picked modified Fords, from high-horsepower RS models to track machines, at Silverstone.

For British Ford enthusiasts seeking the pinnacle of modified Blue Oval engineering, the Fast Ford display at Ford Fair 2025 is the unmissable event of the year. Sponsored by Liqui Moly UK, this dedicated showcase at Silverstone will present a hand-picked selection of the UK's fastest and most impressive Fords, offering a spectacular celebration of performance, styling, and mechanical ingenuity.

Although the Fast Ford magazine is no longer in print, its vibrant community thrives across its Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube channels. The 2025 display is a testament to this enduring passion, bringing together a carefully curated lineup of top-tier feature cars that represent the absolute best of the Ford tuning scene.

A Display Like No Other

The Fast Ford stand is consistently a highlight of Ford Fair, and the 2025 edition promises to be bigger and bolder than ever. Curated by the Fast Ford team, the display is a high-octane celebration of modified Fords, featuring everything from high-horsepower street machines and immaculate show cars to purpose-built race weapons. This year's enhanced sponsorship from LIQUI MOLY ensures the stand will be a major focal point, both in the display area and during on-track demonstrations at the Silverstone circuit.

Every vehicle on display has earned its place through standout presence. The team hand-picks each car based on its impact, whether through insane power figures, meticulous craftsmanship, or cutting-edge modifications. Visitors can expect to see iconic past feature cars, future video stars, and potentially some unexpected surprises, catering to fans of RS models, STs, Cosworths, and any tuned Ford bearing the Blue Oval badge.

Live Action: The Fastest Fords Track Session

This is not a static car show. The stars of the Fast Ford display are built to be driven, and during the dedicated Fastest Fords track session, selected cars will unleash their full potential on the iconic Silverstone tarmac. This is where these thoroughbred machines prove their worth, offering spectators a sensory overload of screaming turbos, roaring exhausts, and impressive performance that truly separates them from mere show ponies.

Standout Cars Confirmed for the 2025 Display

The Fast Ford team has been securing an incredible array of modified Fords. Here are some of the confirmed highlights that demonstrate the diversity and ambition of the UK's Ford scene:

Ben Sher’s Mk6 Fiesta

A 400bhp, rally-bred beast featuring a Turbo Technics S280 turbo and JWRC styling. Built for track, show, and full-send antics, it's mapped by Sitech Racing and runs on GAZ Gold suspension with a dog-leg gearbox.

Marc Jones’ Mk6 Escort

This 400bhp street fighter is powered by a Focus RS engine and represents 16 years of hand-built passion, complete with custom wiring and a screamer pipe for a truly gritty, enthusiast-built character.

Andy Kirkley’s Sierra RS500

An original Andy Rouse BTCC RS500 race car, meticulously restored and track-ready. With its Group A Cosworth YB engine, Getrag dog-box gearbox, and pure 1980s race car aesthetics, this is a true icon.

Craig Davis’ Mk7 Fiesta

This machine features a Honda K20 engine swap with a Jackson Racing supercharger, a stripped-out interior, a WRC widebody kit, and serious track-focused specifications built for domination.

Steve McCutcheon’s Mk3 Escort

An old-school sleeper with modern muscle, featuring a 4x4 Cosworth setup, a forged YB engine, a hybrid T34 turbo, and RS7 wheels, combining clean looks with serious boost.

Peter Filmer’s Sapphire Cosworth

Boasting 540bhp from an RS500 block, a hybrid T4 turbo running 35psi of boost, and a plush white interior, this car was built by Turbosystems and is a full street and show monster.

James Price’s V8 Focus

Starting life as a £600 ST170, this project car is now a flame-spitting menace with a twin-turbo Lexus V8 conversion, rear-wheel drive, side-exit exhausts, and a custom 350Z rear end.

Chris Locke’s Sierra Estate

The ultimate sleeper, this 651bhp estate features a sequential gearbox, a Supra differential, and is capable of a nine-second quarter-mile, embodying a dirty, loud, and raw character.

Stefan Matthews’ Mk2 Fiesta

A uniquely executed build featuring a 2.3-litre I4 engine swap on individual throttle bodies, OZ Gravel wheels, and GAZ suspension for a wildly different approach.

Grant Butler’s Mk2 Focus RS

Notably, the first street-driven Focus RS to break the 1,000bhp barrier. It features Kandy Purple paint and a BorgWarner EFR9180 turbo for pure madness on wheels.

Academy Motorsport’s Mustang GT4s

Two factory-built S650 Mustang GT4 race cars will be on display and on track, representing the pinnacle of modern professional Ford race engineering.

Beyond the incredible machinery, the Fast Ford display serves as a central gathering point for genuine enthusiasts. It's the perfect place to connect with fellow Ford owners, exchange build stories, and gather inspiration for your own project.
