Maxxis meets performance fans at Ford Fair
Under: on
25 August 2010
Tyre manufacturer Maxxis joined around 20,000
Ford enthusiasts at a sun-drenched Silverstone (Saturday, August 8)
to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Ford Fair, Europe's biggest
and best Ford festival.
As the exclusive tyre partner of Future, the special-interest
media company behind some of the biggest performance/tuning events
including Ford Fair, Maxxis promoted its range
from a prime position in the Platinum Retail Village, while the
Maxxis Babes handed out free T-shirts and posed
for photographs as they mingled with die hard Ford enthusiasts.
"The glorious weather certainly helped to bring out the crowds,
but such is the popularity of Ford Fair that the attendance figures
just get bigger year on year. It was an ideal platform for us
to promote our high performance range," says Maxxis
UK's managing director Derek McMartin.
Visitors to this year's Ford Fair were among the first in the
country to take their own cars around the new GP circuit, as used
by the F1 stars for this year's British Grand Prix.
Interspersed with the public track sessions were Fast Ford
magazine's fastest Fords plus a display of Blue Oval Saloon Series
race cars and Formula Fords. Over on the Stowe Circuit front,
rear and four wheel drive Fords were put through their paces on the
popular VI Performance 0-60 sprint strip.
Away from the track Paul Swift and his stunt team put on a superb
display of car control in the Ford Live Action Arena and there were
thousands of vehicles in the club displays and concours of standard
and modified cars. Classic Ford magazine's stand included a
display of Cosworth-powered classics and a huge selection of the
best classic Fords in the country, while the stars of the Fast Ford
magazine stand, based in the pitlane/paddock area, were 3-Door
Sierra Cosworths, the UK's Fastest Fords and a wide range of past
and future feature cars.
