FORD PERFORMANCE
The Ford Racing Legacy
While Ford Motor Company celebrates its founding on June 16, 1903, that would not have been possible without Ford Performance, which got its start on October 10, 1901. On that date at the Detroit Driving Club in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, Henry Ford took on the world-renowned racer from Cleveland, Ohio, Alexander Winton. The belief by all was so strong that Winton would win the race, the organizers of the race allowed Winton’s business manager to choose the trophy that he believed his boss would like the most.

"The competitor to be feared is one who never bothers about you at all."
