And speaking of slides, Gary Johnson unfortunately managed to beach his car in the gravel in one of the modified Ford races. Snowi was able to get some pictures of the recovery, as it happened right as we were on the infield.

This display was especially memorable for this fantastic drift display from a rally-spec Sierra. The driver did this every lap... Until they overcooked it slightly and spun! Then they kept lapping and kept sliding as if to double-down. Great stuff!

In the clubmans, Brendan Herd managed to beach his car and bring out a SC. This was followed by a spectacular display of some very famous fords!

And speaking of the modified Fords, we were lucky enough to do a gridwalk!

Chris Dryden's Fiesta was racing today in the Blue Oval Saloon Series, but here he is in a different series for modified Fords.

And this is why it ended so early! One car spilled fluid and it caught out three of the top drivers.

The Formula Vees were crazy! Definitely one of the races of the weekend, even though it ended early.

It's been over a year now since the spectacle that was Ford Power Live 2025 at Brands Hatch, so you know what that means... Photo dump time! Here are all the action shots I could find that we've never uploaded until now.

Early last month, Snowi and I visited the Festival of Classic and Sports Cars at Helmingham Hall. It was a very crowded and slightly overwhelming event, but with some lovely cars to see including A LOT of Minis! See if you can spot Mr Bean in these...

Shouldn't he be in Madrid? Well not quite. This is Francis Lawson (no relation to Liam!) racing in the Junior Saloon Car Championship.

Pat Booth was second place in the depleted-grid second Audi TT Cup race, although his car looked extremely fast in its Martini livery.

Have you ever seen quadbikes with this much downforce before? These shots were taken immediately after F3 practice, featuring quads belonging to Hitech, Prema, Rodin and Van Amersfoot.

Snowi and I spent most of today at the Clacton Air Show, although my favourite aircraft is still the camera helicopter that catches high-quality shots of Grand Prix weekends for the whole world to see! Snowi managed to snap these equally high-quality shots back at the British Grand Prix.

A full grid of national hotrods lining up, ready for the start of a heat at Foxhall. I personally think this is my favourite short track series - Surprisingly fast and very pretty as they glint in the late-afternoon sun!

Bradley Yates finished second in the Ferrari Challenge race at Snetterton, although admittedly a decent way back from his father Gilbert. These two have apparently raced together in a McLaren GT3 in the recent past.

British GT may have torn up Snetterton last weekend, but they're not the only GT championship to have graced the track this year! Here's Darren Howell racing in the Ferrari Challenge UK, and note the strange spatter of Burger King logos on the roof.

The start of a Formula Ford race at Brands Hatch and the cars of Anthony Amato #90, Connor Willis #99, Tom Nippers #189, Jason Smyth #26 and Morgan Quinn #1 (Number obscured). Smyth ended up winning from pole ahead of Rory Smith, Nippers, Quinn and Willis, and unfortunately Amato DNFed.

Sam Meagher finished third in both Audi Cup races at Snetterton, although unfortunately there were only seven cars in attendance! They're beautiful cars though, so hopefully the series gets revived in the not-too-distant future.

Pierre Gasly spent the first part of the Silverstone #F1 practice session sporting flo-vis paint, which you can see as the red patch on the front wing. This is a specially designed paint which allows the aerodynamicists to see where drag is affecting the profile of the car. Very cool!

You may have noticed the Williams colours on Giusti's car, but he's not the only F3 driver with backing from top-level racing teams! Tuukka Taponen #8 sports the Ferrari Young Driver Academy logo, Mattia Colnaghi #7 and Fionn McLaughlin #24 both have Red Bull backing and Jin Nakamura #25 has Toyota!

Shooting cars through a catch fence is always difficult, but it can also add a sense of speed, looking like subtle little arrows overlayed on the picture. One driver who was looking for a bit more speed was Alessandro Giusti, although unfortunately he couldn't break into the points at Silverstone.

V8 hotstox at Foxhall Speedway - Overall a decent series, but a little underwhelming with just fourteen cars compared to the twenty-plus of BRISCA F1 and national hotrods.

What could be better than a red Ferrari? Sean Ran #85, Chris Beighton #81, Steve Dopson #25 and Will Bolster #66 all raced in Maranello red in the Ferrari Challenge UK. (Although admittedly Beighton was slightly more orange-y!)

One of the fastest drivers in the Civic Cup is a certain Josh Files #99, who I first remember racing in the UK Clio Cup way back in 2011! It was awesome to watch him racing again, although unfortunately he had some quite bad luck in the races.

It's awesome to see Lando Norris on pole for today, especially after having watched the Friday of the British Grand Prix from the 'Landostand' at Stowe. The crowd cheered so loudly every single time Lando came through! It was something I've only experienced in the past with the great Lewis Hamilton.

Fernando Barrichello in Formula 3 practice at Silverstone. I unfortunately never got to see his dad racing live, but I was a fan of his! Unfortunately Fefo has had a tough year so far, failing to score any points as of yet. Then again, AIX aren't exactly known as a competitive team.

The Spedeworth pace car from Foxhall Speedway has a scaffold on the back which is designed for the winner of a race to stand in on a parade lap. Here it is being modelled by Timmy Aldridge of the V8 Hotstox.

Crash! Snowi and I were at Foxhall Speedway last month for the BRISCA F1 stock cars, and it started off in true stock car fashion... With two cars getting tangled up and then sitting in the middle of the track for the whole of the heat. They were Thomas Rogers #269 and Ben Howard #544.

I really like the pickup cup, but the entry lists leave something to be desired. Hopefully their takeover by the BTRC helps them increase the entries.
