It is confirmed by the BRSCC and reported on a website that you sadly can't access just at the moment.

Fantastic.
does that mean they will let as many FF1600's in as people want rather than turning them down as in the past??????? And. Are we going to get as much time on track as the Fiestas........ ;o) |

Knowing that we have official BRSCC members viewing and contributing to this Fourm, I wonder if they would like to air their views on the possibility of FF1600 being elevated in their race programmes?
Something like: More laps per race/practice, time based races (ie. 30 mins), reduced entry fees..... |

Alan - I would agree that at certain circuits FF1600 doesn't get as good a deal as it might, particularly given the level of support for the category at those circuits. I would say that thirty minutes is too long however; the near-standard twenty tends to drag at time. On entry fees - I don't think FF1600 drivers should get a better deal than those in any other class as that would be unfair, but equally they should not prop other championships up.
At the moment the Classic Championship is due to be at Snetterton on Festival weekend. That might change - we will try to find out. |

Since the very first year of Formula E in 1985, it was always on the Festival programme and produced many a splendid race. We even let Johnny Herbert qualify his Festival winning Quest out of session with us that year ! After the 'political demise' of Formula E, Classic was formed and needs to be at the Festival. There is a 2005 precedent in MSV switching from Snett to Brands for A1GP support duty, so have the final round of Classic at Brands I say. |

It's rather up to what the drivers and the BARC want to do, isn't it? Presumably they arranged it that way in the first place - it was always going to be Festival weekend, and now it just has added significance as far as FF1600 is concerned.

I'm surprised no one has commented on the remarks made by the likes of Alan Wardropper etc in this weeks edition of Motorsport News. They are far from complimentary towards FF1600....am I alone in spotting this?

I don't read it anymore.
Especially as they had a pop earlier in the year at the Formula Ford Competitors for not embracing JP's MSV Formula Fords. They are probably better sticking to Rallying and Stock Cars....... |

It really doesn't matter what anybody says about FF1600. 12 cars (Zetec's) is not a festival
. BRSCC have no choice but to make it a kent festival. It could turn into a massive event because i guess there must be championships on the contenent for FF1600 whose competitors may wish to make the trip.The best bit i read was that the Zetec front runners may consider deal to do the Kent Festival if the cars are available.

Unless you do the winter series the Festival is the last race of the year so the zetec boys should convert their cars! Be worth more money!
