redback should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Australia's only somewhat internationally recognisable category, Formula Ford (1600), is to become a one-make series with locally produced cars. What are your experiences with one make categories? Do you think they are good or bad, and why?

I reckon it is a bad idea because:

People I have spoken to that have raced in other one make series complain that they are never really a level playing field regardless of the promoters claims.

The cars date quickly and the series often seem to die after a few seasons.

FF has been a basis for junior chassis designers like Adrian Reynard, Mark Bailey and in Australia Mike Borland to prove their worth. There are probably lots more that I am not familiar with.

It is supposed to be "cheap" but it usually means "cheap and nasty".

Etc, etc.
What do you guys think?
