The Goodwood Festival of Speed plays host to wheeled machines fast, fantastic and flamboyant and, in some way shape or form, this ridiculous Ford F150 Raptor fits all those criteria.

Video: Ben Collins Sprays the Mud With Raptor Donuts
The employment of that kind of reasoning is how you wind up with Ben Colins wrangling the thing up the Goodwood Hillclimb – and he puts on a spectacular performance.
In the video above, the Raptor is every bit the unwieldy truck that it’s descended from. As our chief road tester slithers around the first turn a glorious drift quickly turns into a lawn-shredding donut, as grass and mud fly in all directions. A slick recovery sees the Raptor back in the right direction, albeit sideways and smashing into the EcoBoost V6’s rev-limiter. A fantastic show, but we’d leave the drifting to Buttsy, Mike and Vaughn next time...
