Ever Dreamed of Being a Movie Stunt Driver?

Added: 14 June 2018

Want to try your hand at the coolest job ever? Ford is offering everyone a chance to be a stunt driver for the day - and see their skills immortalised on film!

That’s right - Ford’s Go Faster event is back and it kicks off this summer at intu Trafford Centre, Manchester.

During the Ford experience, professional stunt drivers teach participants how to perform tyre-smoking stunts like drifting and the classic ‘J-turn’. They will then get to perform a series of these heart-pounding manoeuvres in a Focus RS hot hatch as they try to shake a chasing Ford Mustang, all filmed using high quality cameras and rigs.

Coupled to acting scenes, they will end up starring in a movie trailer for “Go Faster”, playing a race driver-turned-getaway driver, as they help to pull-off a daring casino heist!

Speaking about the event, Ford’s Brand Experience Manager, Andrew Merryweather said, “This is a unique opportunity to not only perform stunts in one of the mostly highly-rated hot hatches, but to also see yourself and your stunt driving skills appear in a proper movie trailer.

Starting at intu Trafford Centre on Friday 29th June and running until Sunday 8th July, tickets for Ford Go Faster are on sale now priced £69 - £149 per person with a limited number of places available.

Those who sign up for the challenge will receive a call-sheet, storyboard and script ahead of time, before turning up to the huge custom-designed site to see for themselves what it’s like to be the coolest person on set for a day!
