FORD was WORKING this opportunity !!!!! Displays at about 4 or 5 points. A FORD tented area .... You could book test drives ..... I was expecting a few vehicles and two or three people handing out business cards .... NOPE - they WORKED the crowd !!! Well done to them. And a BIG THANKS for keeping these events a-FORD-able for cyclists PhilipV, Donovan Le Cok and Scary Rider 2 1

It is probably not far off. Advendurance did it for Toyota for the Warrior races a few years back already, So it was likely tabled as a possibility.

They had a belter in 2023 with their Ranger model – sales were up by a whopping 41% from 2022. In the bigger picture, their total sales increase was a modest 0.5% over the previous year, but that's not too shabby. Considering the overall car market took a dip of 3.1% at one point in the year, Ford's keeping its head above water pretty well. It's great to see big players like Ford getting involved in cycling events. It's a win-win – helping to grow the sport and also providing vital support to the people organising these fantastic events. It is impressive considering they had no passenger cars (except the Mustang) to offer their customers

Not gonna lie, was a bit disappointed when I rocked up there in my new Ford and did not get any special privileges.

But it was next to the bridge, outside the Ranger camp. Only saw it because my vehicle was 10m from it.
