Max Chilton tests the Revival Ford Mustang On Track
As Revival races up on us again, more and more pro drivers are swapping downforce and slicks for a bit of ‘proper’ historic motorsport testing here at the circuit. We caught up with today’s crop of F1 and BTCC stars.
Unusually for a Formula One driver, Max Chilton’s career began in saloon cars. At 14, he raced in the T-car championship before making the move to single-seaters and ultimately F1.
None of that experience has been of any use for the 1965 Ford Mustang he will be driving at the Goodwood Revival. While it’s foolish to compare the Mustang and his Marussia in any meaningful way, apparently the Mustang’s stoppers bare even less comparison to the carbon brakes of a modern F1 car than Max might have hoped. ‘You could easily get into trouble with the braking,’ he says. ‘It feels its age!’
Max still has plenty to learn about the Mustang, but he’s confident of being at the sharp end of the grid. ‘It’s a good car, and Richard knows it well.’
Watch Revival Live Here between the 12th and 14th of September.
