Ford boss visits Australia

Richard Edwards · 0 comments

Ford Motor Company chief executive Jim Farley has visited Australia as part of an Australasian tour that included some seat time in a V8 Supercar.

Farley toured the brand’s local facilities. This included a visit to its parts distribution centre, and to the Melbourne facility converting F150 trucks from left to right and drive.

He took time to indulge in motorsport on both sides of the Tasman, driving a Mustang Supercar in with Cam Waters, and hanging out at NZ’s Highlands Park in Cromwell – racing a legendary Ford Sierra Cosworth.
