W
ell, I think it's safe to say that
summer has finally arrived!
We've been out and about
all over the country recently
attending various shows and events for
features in the mag, and getting more
than a little warm and occasionally
sunburnt while we've been at it.
One of the hottest shows so far
was RS Combe. With Mediterranean-
style temperatures and the chilled
atmosphere, this show could have passed
for being held abroad somewhere. You
can read the full report over on page 58.
The weekend prior to RS Combe, we
were at Ultimate Ford Show. This new
event was a relaxing change from all
the frantic rushing around at the bigger
shows of year, and allowed for some
quality time with good mates and top
Fords. See what I mean over on page 66.
We've also been out and about at
events such as RS Croft, and various
club meets from local groups too - all for
future issues of the mag. But, as I type
this, the big one is still to come. I am, of
course, talking about Ford Fair. We're just
finishing off the final preparations for the
show, and are nearly ready to load the
cars and head to Silverstone.WELCOME TO THE
SEPTEMBER ISSUE!

CO.UK/FTFPART OF THE FAST CAR ENTERTAINMENT FAMILY
WWW.FASTCAR.CO.UKI'm really looking forward to the show
this year – we've got an excellent line-up
of cars on display, plus there'll be loads
going on around the show too. One
particular highlight I'm looking forward
to is watching Paul Swift complete a
Gymkhana course in his awesome Mk
Escort rally car! I can't wait.
But unfortunately, you will need to...
that's because this issue needed to be
sent to the printers before the show. So,
for a full report from Ford Fair 2019 you'll
need to pick up a copy of the next issue.
Don't feel short-changed though – this
issue is packed with some great stuff!
For starters, I love Andrew Cross' Saph
Cossie from the cover – this is my dream
spec for any Cosworth! Then there's
Luke Jones' Mk2 RS, a car that wins
Show & Shines when it's stood still but
unleashes 670bhp of fury on the way
home again! And that's without even
touching on Liam Merrick's subtle Mk
Focus ST, John Foot's hybrid turbo'd
Fiesta ST, or Nathan Rae's S
RST track car.
And there's our first
ever drive on the all-new
Mk4 Focus ST too! Couple
that with our old-school
section, and there's
something for
everyone this
month.
I hope you
enjoy the read!- Jamie King -
