In the provisional list of drivers and riders for the 2015 edition of the Goodwood Festival of Speed, we saw that Ben Collins is the man that will drive the 2016 Shelby GT350R Mustang, the most extreme road-legal Mustang from Ford Performance. This feat holds some curiosity to it. Wait, make that two curioisities.First of all, has the Blue Oval announced that it’s selling theand GT350R Mustang in Europe? There’s nothing official on this at the time of writing. Furthermore, sources close to Ford claim that Europe won’t get the Shelby-ified muscle car. The I4 EcoBoost and V8 GT will have to suffice.Secondly, why Ben Collins? The only proper racing result he can be proud of is a VSR V8 Trophy champion title from 2003. And he starred in a CC Mason music video,. To put the former Stig’s stardom into contrast, the Blue Oval employed Ken Block to hoon his 950 horsepower Hoonicorn Mustang and the 2016 Ford Focus RS on Lord March’s glorious hill climb.We’re not trying to nitpick here because we know that Collins can squeeze every ounce of American V8 muscle from the GT350R’s flat-plane crank tower-of-power better than many other racing drivers, Formula 1 stars included. In Ben Collins-related news, production has started for an upcoming television show in which the former Stig will go through the ups and downs of what it means to be a stunt driver.
