Ford re-wrote the record books on 27 February 2010 when South African motoring enthusiasts from around the country gathered to create the largest recorded Ford parade in history.

The event, which took place on a fair-weathered Saturday at Phakisa Freeway in the Free State, brought 586 Fords together to participate in a spectacular parade lap to secure an entry in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Ford owners from around the country were invited to bring their vehicles to the Welkom-based race circuit to complete the 3.2km route in celebration of the Blue Oval and its illustrious history.
