Goodwood Revival: Collectors' Motor Cars and Automobilia
Transformed into a rally car by RAF Marham at the 2023 Goodwood FoS Engine replaced with compression tested unit (new cam belt and water pump) Signed by numerous motor sports stars Competition logbook issued This Ford Fiesta is one of the stars of the 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed, where the Royal Air Force Lightning Rally Team (Marham) converted it into a Clubman-specification Special Stage rally car in just 30 hours in celebration of 30 years of the Festival of Speed. The build included conversion to run on sustainable fuel, and a full wrap in a striking livery. Using their transferable engineering skills, acquired in the modern RAF, the team maintain their newly procured factory-built Ford Fiesta R2 and run it in UK-based championships as part of RAF-encouraged sport. RAF Marham are proud of their longstanding relationship with the Festival of Speed, including donating the 'Tornado Trophy' (made from parts of a Rolls-Royce jet engine that powered a Tornado during its service) which is awarded annually for the competitor who travels the furthest distance over the Forest Rally Stage's jump. After completing a challenge at the 2022 Festival of Speed
pulling their previous rally car 29 kilometres and helping to raise 14, 000 for Race Against Dementia, the Festival of Speed's nominated charity
the team of 15 decided to set themselves a new challenge to raise money. This year, all funds raised will go to The Greenpower Education Trust, the 2023 Festival of Speed charity. The Fiesta arrived at Goodwood and was driven around the Rally Stage as a course car and then, at 1pm on Thursday 13th July, the build commenced. At 4pm on Saturday 15th July, after completing 30 hours of work on the car in their downtime, it received a Competition Logbook from a Motorsport UK scrutineer and the transformation was completed. The Fiesta was then signed by the following celebrities: Sebastian Vettel, Peter Solberg, Thiery Neuville, 'Mad' Mike Whiddett, Travis Pastrana, Adrian Formaux, George Barclay, Mick Schumacher, and Oscar Piastri. The generosity of the world of motor sport, as well as UK-based suppliers (many of those exhibiting at the Festival of Speed) has been wonderful, with most of the parts needed to complete this challenge having been donated. Accompanying documentation includes a V5C Registration Certificate; current MoT; and the aforementioned Competition Logbook. Bonhams is delighted to auction the completed car at the Goodwood Revival Sale to raise money for The Greenpower Education Trust.
