Classic touring cars being strung out in the rain. Was there ever such a recipe for exciting racing, or chaos, for that matter? Luckily, Chris Ward knows his way around the punchy rear-wheel-drive Ford Cologne Capri in all conditions – and JD Classics know how to prepare a period racer. As such this video is a testament to Chris’ skills with some outstanding car control being exhibited at Donington Historic Festival, as well as a testament to JD’s exceptional work in keeping these cars as ready for a good weekend’s worth of thrashing as the day they debuted.

Video: Ford Capri Destroys Opposition In The Wet – Without Changing Gear!
In the video you can clearly see Chris keeping the Capri teetering the limits of adhesion, with constant lock inputs to keep the car with the front facing forward. The wiper is going hell for leather trying to keep his view ahead clear, with what would appear to be relatively little success. Doesn’t phase Chris though, clearly. Would you dare to take this Capri out on a waterlogged Donington Park?
