Latest Historic Formula Ford news for 2019 and race dates.

One of the best UK Racing Series in Historic racing and we are pretty busy & friendly too...!
Call by for a cuppa and a chat - if we're not too busy having fun... Below is our 2019 Race Dates.
10 meetings and some invites.

Organised by The Historic Sports Car Club we are NOW sponsored by
Carless Racing Fuels supplied by Vital Equipment supported by Avon Tyres, Over50 Championship by Radio Caroline.
We welcome any other companies who would like to sponsor us on a race-day basis. It helps pay for our Paddock Hospitality Unit.

Our website is a little dated in parts but is at www.HistoricFF.co.uk for 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....

‘Radio Caroline’ advertising support is still on-line for 2019 too, their 45-second jingles 10 times a day help push our series and our sponsors name to about 4 million people; a symbiotic relationship between our two 1960’s iconic creations.

Our great YouTube film commentator/compiler Josh Barratt is still with us, in between frenetic commentating sessions at Brand Hatch, anyone who wants to be named and see themselves in all their racing glory is reminded to fit an in-car camera. You can order his 2017 compilation now (details below).

Scrutineers advice. Helmet wrapping.

The ‘wrapping’ of helmets is not acceptable. Vehicle wrapping is commonplace now, and the reason for not accepting it on helmets is simply that it can easily cover up cracking and other damage. The same applies to helmets where decals have been applied.

Helmet dating.

Although the Snell SA2005 standard expired at the end of 2018, the FIA 8860-2004 standard remains valid until the end of 2020, therefore such a helmet remains acceptable until the end of 2020.
