The Ford SuperTruck has absolutely smashed the UK’s Goodwood Festival of Speed.
A big part of the four-day festivities is the Timed Shoot-Out Finale.
Despite stiff competition, the Ford SuperTruck came in quickest by nearly two seconds.
And it was also the fourth-fastest time in the history of the festival’s timed runs.

Ford SuperTruck smashes competition at Goodwood
This insane Ford SuperTruck managed to steal the show at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in Britain.
One of the marquee events at Goodwood is the Timed Shoot-Out Finale.
As you might imagine, it invites the biggest and baddest things on four wheels to take part in a special race.
They all take each other on to compete up the 1.17-mile hill climb.
Dirk Muller managed to pilot the Ford Mustang GTD up the Goodwood hill in 50.78 seconds.
James Wallis’ Porsche 911 GT3 Cup clocked a time of 46.73 seconds.
But it was all for nought – as the Ford SuperTruck blew the competition away.
Romain Dumas managed to pilot the Ford in an incredible 43.23 seconds, smashing the rest of the grid.
In fact, the Ford SuperTruck beat out Scott Speed’s Subaru Project Midnight by 1.81 seconds.
Not only did Dumas’ driving beat the rest of the competition, but it also achieved something else.
It managed to set the fourth-fastest time in the history of Goodwood timed runs.

Dumas wasn’t actually all that far behind the all-time record at Goodwood.
That honor is currently held by the incredible McMurtry Speirling hypercar.
The McMurtry set a scarcely believable time of 39.08 seconds back in 2022.
Back in 2012, Nick Heidfeld powered the F1 car up the Goodwood course in 41.6 seconds.
For a Ford SuperTruck to be among such company brings home just how impressive it is.
The Ford SuperTruck comes with a tri-motor setup, producing a mind-blowing 1,421hp.
It produces 6,000lbs of downforce at 150mph – mostly due to its massive rear wing and aero features.
Ford Performance is already working on the 2026 SuperTruck.
Apparently, it is planning to take on Pike’s Peak in Colorado – and we fancy its chances.
