Ford rally history celebration

July 7, 2014

Ford will be the featured marque at the fifth RaceRetro, the International Historic Motorsport Show at Stoneleigh Park from March 14-16, 2008. A display of Ford rally cars from the ’50s to today, called ‘From Gatsonides to Grönholm’ will be central to the event. The 40th anniversary of the Ford Escort will be marked, while the GT40 will also be celebrated. Current Ford WRC team boss Malcolm Wilson will open the show on one day and the organisers hope to attract many former works Ford drivers and co-drivers.

Paul Lawrence

Here is a man who goes racing every weekend from March to October. Paul’s passion for the sport goes back to when he was a child of the 1960s. He has organised, competed in and marshalled on scores of events, and has written about the subject for 20 years. He is as at home in the paddock at Brands Hatch as in a Welsh forest or at Shelsley Walsh.
