King of Kents at the Formula Ford Festival
I've just looked at the entry list for this weekend's King of Kents race - 58 cars!
It looks like being a cracker. A showdown between the Combe, the Midlands and the Southern Formula Ford runners with some extras added in for even more excitement! And the name Jonathan McGall jumps out ... can that be the same on who used to race in top line FF1600 in the 80s? As for the other races it's a shame about the Open Saloon race entry (see different thread). But Sports 2000 seem to be bulging at the seams. And of the course the Zetecs. Can't wait for the weekend!! |

I think this is going to be the series of the weekend. Theres lots of good drivers coming over from Ireland. Will the weekend be broadcast at any stage? Anyone interested in doing an amateur video of King of Kents and selling it at cost?

I dare say there will be the profusion of Kents littering the gravel traps at Paddock Hill and Druids if past years are anything to go by!
Have any of you drivers been given a certificate for coming off at Druids in past Festivals? WE normally produce certificates and car stickers especially for the occasion |

I'm not entered. Couldn't make it in the end. But its the aim for next year. I'm really glad to see a bit of a revival in the 1600's.

I think they provide the better racing and spectacle of the two as well.

Well Mr Green I hope not to be visiting you at Druids. as long as everyone remembers first lap is always a bit slower then the rest of them and they may actually have to brake a bit earlier, we should be ok, I cant see anyone forgetting and making a move up the inside of Druids half on the grass and taking 5 people out. then again.........

If I was putting money on it, I'd go for Rivett as well.
Now Matt, no pressure. None at all. |

thanks a lot you two!! gonna be a cracking race some proper fast people doing it and I guess some that have done a lot more at Brands then me, should be good though, I have been talking to people from the "good old days" when it was kents only and 8 heats per driver sounded awsome!! shame its not like that anymore,
I say get rid of the zetecs and bring back the kents!! Matt |
