Goodwood's hill does not care about range anxiety. According to the Festival of Speed Shoot-Out Final timing, the quickest car up the famous climb this year was the Ford Super Mustang Mach-E, with Romain Dumas setting a 41.98-second run on Sunday. That makes the result less a cute EV footnote than a blunt scoreboard item: the fastest thing at Goodwood wore a Mustang badge and did not burn fuel.This was not a showroom Mach-E dressed in a loud wrap, obviously. The Super Mustang Mach-E was first showcased last year and was originally conceived for the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, according to the event rundown. Dumas had already taken it to victory at the Race to the Clouds three weeks earlier with an 8:18.202 run, and Goodwood's timing confirmed he carried that form straight into the Festival of Speed. The hillclimb win was reportedly his third consecutive Goodwood victory and fifth overall.ford s ev just embarrassed everyThe part that stings for anyone still treating electric specials as sideshow material is the margin against proper modern racing hardware. Goodwood's Shoot-Out Final timing listed Daniel Ticktum in a Gen4 Formula E car at 42.46 seconds, almost half a second behind Dumas. On a short course, that is not narrative fluff. That is the difference between "interesting demo" and "everyone else got beaten."The rest of the sharp end looked more traditional, and also much slower. Goodwood's published order placed Alex Summers third in a 1974 Shadow-Chevrolet DN4 Can-Am sports prototype at 46.31 seconds, just 0.01 second ahead of Johan Kristoffersson's VW Polo RallyCross car. Travis Pastrana's Subaru Brataroo 9500 Turbo clocked 46.77 seconds, according to the same timing, while reportedly delivering exactly the sort of crowd-baiting chaos Goodwood tends to reward even when the stopwatch does not.AdvertisementAdvertisementBMW's all-new M Concept Neue Klasse also appeared at the event, according to the Festival of Speed rundown, previewing the upcoming all-electric M3 alongside the 1986 E30 M3 homologation special and limited-production 2011 E92 M3 GTS. That was neat symmetry. Ford's result was louder. For all the industry's strained theater around electrification, Goodwood produced a clean answer: the quickest car up the hill was electric, and it was a Ford.
