One of the world’s most-recognised DJs, Carl is also addicted to anything with an engine! From collecting motorcycles, English classic cars and historic American muscle cars, he’s now out on track regularly himself, although normally he is piloting a 2000hp Ford Capri drag car and a Porsche GT3RS. This is his first time running up the hill at the Leadfoot Festival and Carl will show his love for classic British Fords by being behind the wheel of a MK1 RS2000 Ford Escort.

It is running a very well sorted 2-litre Ford Pinto, side draught Delortos, and a 4-speed gearbox. Although it is road legal, it has been a competition car since 1998. The previous owner loved this car for over 15 years and Carl purchased it specifically to enter the 2018 Leadfoot event, after attending as a spectator in 2017.
