Northamptonshire Police Ford Ranger Raptor (AK19 YZE)

            2019 Ford Ranger Raptor 2.0 TDCi EcoBlue 213

Static displays at the British Grand Prix are usually abysmal and this year, once again, was no exception to the rule. However, the local constabulary usually attempt to make up for it.

For a few years Northamptonshire Police and the Central Motorway Police Group (CMPG) had a brilliant display of vehicles on show for the spectators. 

Unfortunately, it was a smaller display this year but there were still some nice things on show.

Amongst a number of vehicles parked up alongside the old start/finish straight was this eye-catching Ford Ranger Raptor. 

This one started life as a demonstrator vehicle and did actually spend some time on trial with Northamptonshire Police last year. The force recently purchased the vehicle outright and has assigned it to the Rural Crime Team.

The British Grand Prix was held as a part of the UK Government's Events Research Programme, which meant a capacity crowd at a sporting event in the UK for the first time since early 2020 and no social distancing or face coverings required at the meeting. 

Taking place on the day before pretty much all lockdown restrictions were lifted in England all attendees had to demonstrate that they had tested negative for Covid-19 from tests taken within 48 hours of the event or prove that they had had both vaccination jabs 14 days before arrival.

I can't tell you how good it felt to experience some sort of 'normality' after so long. The scorching summer weather made it even better!
