New Title Sponsor for 2020

I am pleased to announce that Classic Race Simulators, the Farnborough Company making bespoke Race Car Simulators have taken over from Vital Equipment/Carless Race Fuels as the title sponsor for our 2020 16-round Championship this season.
In addition, Classic Race Simulators will have a presence in the paddock at every meeting, offering drivers the opportunity to gain additional practice and have fun between sessions.

Classic Race Simulators’ Managing Director, Jim Hill: “Classic race cars are our passion so to become involved in such a prestigious UK championship is a pleasure.
We look forward to supporting the drivers with “state of the art” simulation
equipment in the paddock to improve both safety and enjoyment on track."
About Classic Race Simulators: they say,
“Based in Farnborough, just an hour from central London, we have combined the love of classic race cars with our race simulation knowledge to produce beautiful simulators since 2013.
From a Cockpit to a full-size race car or kart we can build a bespoke tribute simulator from scratch or adapt a current design using our experienced craftsmen. We will share our knowledge to steer you around the
choices and supply and fit all systems, so they work together on installation.”
Free Practice!! A new innovation in our area of the paddock will be some ‘Historic’
Simulators free to use by drivers courtesy of our new sponsor and, I’m told “They have motion, force feedback, wind simulation (!?) and are equipped with “state of the art” Virtual Reality equipment. One of the sims has been custom built for a UK classic racer who wants to practice the circuits in advance of races” so they may be dialed in to each meeting’s circuit. Bit of fun eh? Free to us, the facilities are for hire to anyone with sponsors and guests to impress.

Making history (again)…. Website bookings are open for our first race of the season;
it’s a revival of the first Formula Ford Fest in 1972 when our cars were still pretty new and we’re still proving a lasting formula...

To celebrate we’re still going strong, classes of Classic, Heritage, and the newer ‘Champion of Brands’ Formula Fords will join us in the paddock. Our ‘elder Ford-engined brothers’ - Formula Junior – will also be there to complete the scene of 48 years ago. I’ve been told that Snetterton marshals are really looking forward to seeing us.

HSCC Blurb…’The weekend will honour the life of racer and race school pioneer Jim Russell, who died in March 2019, as well as featuring 10 Formula Ford races to mark the early heritage of the Formula Ford Festival. Before moving to Brands Hatch in 1976, the first four Festivals were run at Snetterton from 1972 to 1975’.


4 - 5 Apr HSCC HFF, CFF & Heritage FF. Snetterton 300 circuit. 38 cars per
grid. HFF ‘A’ race format single race on both days plus possible race
for Formula Ford Champion of Snetterton Race. Party, live band we hope,
etc.
