Performance Ford | The Ultimate Mag For All Ford Enthusiasts

We're all about power this month, which is why we've got a Sapphire on the cover that has over 400bhp. That's not its only party piece though – no, this Sierra can also shout about the fact it was built in just ten weeks! The White RS that's also on the cover was more of a gentle evolution, but one that resulted in over 500bhp through the front tyres. You can almost smell the burning rubber as you read that!

What else? Well, we delve into the exciting world of the British Touring Car Championship before proceedings get underway at Brands Hatch for the 2015 season. There's a closer look at the AMDtuning.com Focus, as well as a whole host of reasons as to why you should be watching.

There's more, too. How about a rally Fiesta kicking up the gravel at a rapid rate of knots on the bumpy stages. Failing that, we have a man who's doubled up his Fords so he has a choice of Blue Oval power at his disposal. The there are the regulars, the shows, the tech… there's so much to read!

However, it's the last time I'll be bringing PF to you. It's all change for next month, as I hand over the rudder of the good ship Performance Ford to my colleague, and chum, Chris Pollitt (in the picture on the right).

Having first employed Chris in the world of magazines some eight years ago, I'm proud to have got to know him personally and professionally over that time. I know that he'll take the magazine onwards and upwards from here on in as he used to be Features Editor on PF in times gone past.

As for me, I've met some great people out there in the world of PF and seen some crazy cars – it's been an adventure, that's for sure. But my journey with Fords began with the retro stuff, and that's where you'll find me from now on: in the garage, tinkering with an old Ford. Cheers.
