FPV can trace its roots back to 1991, when the British automotive engineering company Tickford began a collaboration with Ford Australia to produce high-performance variants of the Australian Falcon range. FPV created a car with modifications making the car suitable for competitive drifting. The show-car was a popular exhibit, and the car was entered into the national-level Drift Australia Series in 2006, where it was driven by Adam ‘Newtonmeter’ Newton.
