The Faberge
Fiesta
Championship
1979 |
 |
In 1978, at the Ford New Year Press
Conference, Stuart Turner was challenged by a question from a radio reporter (Val Shenton)
as to what Ford could do for Lady Drivers in Competition.
Ford then hit on the idea of a mixed rally and race Championship to find a suitable Lady
Competitor. This Championship would feature 15 identical Fiestas, sponsored by
Faberge (Kiku) and involve some 6 races and 6 rallies throughout 1979. The prize
would be a sponsored drive in 1980.

This website is
dedicated to that Championship Year,
and to the 3 reunions held
in 2004, 2014 and 2019.
