A celebration of Ford and the greatest-ever gathering of Formula Atlantics.
Ford CEO Jim Farley spent time at Highlands Motorsport Park in 2023, where he recognised New Zealand’s passion for the brand. He says he is excited for the festival.
“We are so proud that the Ford Ranger has been New Zealand’s best-selling vehicle for the last nine years,” he said.
“2024 will again be a special year for Ford in New Zealand, first with the announcement Ford will be the celebrated marque at the 2025 Historic Grand Prix at Taupo Motorsport Park and then with our new Mustangs returning to race in Supercars.
“I have met so many Kiwis who love Ford, and we feel the exact same way about New Zealand. Our nearly 100-year history in the country speaks for itself.
“The only thing we could have done better was to have Greg Murphy drive for Ford, and then the Lap of the Gods would have been in a Falcon.”
An international contingent of Formula Atlantics will join their New Zealand-based counterparts for a weekend of on-track activity and off-track displays, with a standalone field of the cars to compete for the 2025 Historic GP.
In addition to the Formula Atlantic and Ford showcases, other categories invited to the event include Historic Saloon cars, Historic Muscle cars, Historic Touring cars, and F5000.
Show and shines, demonstration laps, displays, and a Ford All-Comers field will feature at the Taupo Historic GP, with several Ford-associated celebrities set to cut laps and host meet-and-greets with fans.
