RS CROFT 2019
We always love the combination of a track day and show in one, and Croft circuit in the North East is an ideal location for such an event. Fortunately, the Durham and Derbyshire RSOC cottoned on to this idea some years ago and their annual event at Croft was a huge event for Ford fans. Sadly, in recent years the show has been on a bit of a sabbatical, but now it’s back! And 2019 has proved that the event continues to be as big and successful as ever. We took a trip up north to check out what we’d been missing!
The first thing that strikes you surrounding this event is the standard of cars on display. It may not be the biggest Ford show in the UK, but the sheer number of immaculate Cosworth and RS badged cars on offer takes some beating. It’s not often you get to see a quartet of three-door Sierra Cosworths parked next to a brace of Sapphires with a repeat scenario just around the corner. With a mixture of standard and tastefully modified examples this was pure Cosworth heaven, and proof that many of these iconic cars are actually still driven. RS Turbos were present in strong numbers too; if you’re into ’80s and ’90s Fords this was the place to be!
