Kathmandu, June 16: On the occasion of the 113th
anniversary of the Ford Motor Company, GO Ford – distributor of Ford motor
vehicles in Nepal – is organizing GO Kart Racing for Ford Owners on 25th
June.
The company Thursday celebrated the 113th
Anniversary of the company.
“Entry for
the racing will be free of cost for all Ford owners and registration will be
done on first come first serve basis. Apart from race, there will be other fun
activities like human swing, hover-board, melt down and food and drink stalls,”
said the company in a press statement.
GO Ford is holding its annual Heritage Month
celebration in June to honour the company’s rich 113 year history.
According to the company, Ford’s racing heritage
dates back as far as 1901, before the inception of Ford Motor Company in 1903.
Henry Ford, founder of the company, knew that racing fascinated the public, so
he took the chance and raced in his 26-horsepower Sweepstake against the
greatest driver of that time, Alexander Winton.
“Henry Ford won cash prize of 1,000 USD and in
combination with financial support from investors he founded the Ford Motor
Company few years later,” informed the company.
Ford entered the Nepalese market in 2010. There are
11 Ford sales and service outlets as well as 1 quicklane service centre.
