Historic Formula Ford Race Series. Race dates, Info, contacts, news
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the best UK Racing Series in Historic racing and we are pretty busy & friendly too...!
Organised by The Historic Sports Car Club and sponsored in association with Avon Tyres.
Get the latest and a lot more from our website at
www.HistoricFF.co.uk cars for sale or wanted, required driving standards, reports and of course our official HFF videos courtesy of Josh Barratt Film Enterprises.
Look in on us, (link above, click 'videos' then 'HFF Videos') we are a busy bunch and can be rather exciting at times....
For 2017 we will continue our 'come one - come all' racing format where we will not have any reserves at some races (dependent on circuit grid numbers). There will be double qualifying sessions where the top half of each will qualify for race 2 and the lower group are in race 1.
Top finishers in race 1 then go into race 2 subject to grid space.
It seemed to work last time and made life interesting and like abilities raced together. Good eh?

STOP PRESS!!! Historic Formula Ford goes Pop!
The exciting HSCC Historic Formula Ford Series celebrating the Kent-engined
class's 50th year in 2017 announces an association with its 1960's fast
moving counterparts of the music world - the once illegal Radio Caroline!
Originally floating outside the 3-mile limit off the Essex coast and the
starting platform of many to become famous Pop Stars is now broadcasting
globally and still afloat off the Thames. The connection is very similar to
the everlasting popularity - and start of many Grand Prix Drivers careers -
of this great 1600 cc Formula. The Avon Tyre supported HFF Series organisers are hoping to attract a Headline sponsor for the 50th year with Radio Caroline's help supplying their support with promotion and regular news of the series.
Prospective Sponsors are welcome to
contact them on their website.
ALSO!!! We are looking to finance a couple of people to look after our hospitality side of things and may have a budget to pay for costs for a few rounds. Contact us if you would like to be involved on our social side.
