Ford has used this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed to celebrate 125 years of the brand in motorsport, bringing together iconic racing machines from its past and present. The company shared a gallery of images spanning more than a century of competition, from historic Le Mans winners to current racing cars.
Ford has marked 125 years of motorsport at the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed, one of the biggest gatherings of racing and performance cars in the world. To mark the milestone, the company assembled a line-up of iconic Ford Racing vehicles from across its history and put them on show at the famous West Sussex event.
A century and a quarter of competition
According to the company, the celebration spans Ford’s racing history “past and present” — a story that stretches back to the brand’s earliest days on track and runs through to its current competition cars. Among the historic machines highlighted in Ford’s own gallery is the 1966 GT40 MkII, the model that famously took Ford to the top of endurance racing at Le Mans.
What it means
Goodwood has long served as a stage for manufacturers to connect their modern performance and racing programmes with their heritage, and Ford’s 125-year anniversary gives it a natural reason to do exactly that. For enthusiasts, it is a chance to see landmark cars from the brand’s motorsport past alongside the machinery it fields today.
Ford’s full image gallery from the event is available through its From the Road media channel.
