FireForce 3 Goes to Autoville

Martin Hill and FireForce 3 are honoured to have been invited to perform at the very first Autoville event in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The car was loaded before Christmas and has been making it’s way in the container to Jeddah and the team will be flying soon to unload the car and make preparations before the event starts on 8th January.

It’s hugely exciting for us all and we can’t wait to see what Autoville has in store for us and how the Saudi audience will react to the car!

The Saudi International Festival of Motoring (Autoville), the first and largest interactive event in the Middle East region’s motoring sector, is held in Dirab Motor Park in Riyadh from 8th – 14th January 2022.

Autoville will feature a range of unique and diverse events involving renowned rally and motor personalities, including the two-time Guinness World Record breaker in drifting races, Saudi driver Abdul Hadi Al-Qahtani, along with various world-famous motorsport celebrities, including Ken Block, Chelsea DeNofa, Vaughn Gethin Jr., Remy Bizouard, and many others.

Not The European Finals 2020

11th September 2020

Firstly, we hope you are all staying safe and well during these strange times. Secondly, we apologise for the lack of updates on our website but the modern world now sees a monumental shift to the world of social media so we concentrate a lot of our effort into our Facebook and Instagram pages. https://www.facebook.com/fireforcejets

Today, Friday 11th September sees our first official event of 2020 at NOT The European Finals at Santa Pod Raceway. As many of you know, the FIA cancelled the FIA championship for 2020 due to Covid-19 so Santa Pod decided to host their own Drag Racing event as a replacement. So for the next three days FireForce 3 Jet Funny Car and FireForce 5 Jet Dragster will be taking to the track with solo and side-by-side runs.

In ‘normal’ seasons, September would be the wind down for us. Our season would usually start in March and run through to October with us attending at least 20 events. To now be in September and attending our first event is a strange adjustment for sure. But we are here and we are glad to be back.

Thanks for your continued support and feel free to follow/like us on our social media pages.

Anyway, in continuation of us celebrating 30 years of FireForce in 2019, we are pleased to announce that FireForce 2 will take to the track at Dragstalgia at Santa Pod Raceway on 13th & 14th July 2019.

FireForce 2 (the yellow one) made a successful comeback after a 14 year absence back at Festival of Power over the Easter weekend an we are delighted to be able to bring it back out for this nostalgic weekend of drag racing in just a few days time.

6 Consecutive 300mph+ Runs

13th June 2018

FireForce 5 Jet Dragster has just completed it’s 6th consecutive 300mph+ runs last Sunday.  JapShow held at Santa Pod Raceway on 10th June saw all manner of Japanese vehicle enthusiasts gather at Pod and FireForce 5 launched another sterling run clocking up a 308.33mph in 5.16 seconds.

Whilst FireForce 5 was at the Classic Ford Show just one week prior, a timing system failure meant that there was no recorded speed or time – much to our disappointment.

So, let’s re-cap;

Fast Show – Sun 29th April 2018
5.063 seconds @ 308.34mph (ET PB to date)

FIA Main Event – 26th – 28th May 2018
5.201@308.33mph
5.328@302.16mph
5.192@310.41mph (PB Speed to date and the quickest & fastest jet outside North America)
5.224@308.34mph

JapShow – Sun 10th June 2018
5.164@308.33mph

As with everything, you can only perform at these speeds for so long before it takes it’s toll and FireForce 5 now needs a little maintenance in preparation for the forthcoming event.
