Eight or ten years ago, maybe more - god how time flies !!! - I posted on the old FFU site (the precursor to this one for those who do not know the history of it) about the possible evolution of FF1600 and included - completely tongue in cheek - the idea that FF might soon use monocogue chassis. Well, here's the latest hot stuff about the new FF in England courtesy of the splendid website autoextremist.com
Formula Ford will adopt the FIA Formula 4 Regulations and guidelines in Great Britain from 2015 onwards. With the signing of a contract with Britain’s motorsport governing body, the MSA, Ford will create and develop a new race series to fulfill the FIA’s vision for a clearer path for young drivers looking to progress to Formula 1. The move will see the adoption of a new carbon-fiber monocoque chassis, which meets FIA F3 safety standards. The cars will be powered by the 1.6-litre Ford EcoBoost engine, which has been successfully race-proven in Formula Ford during the last three seasons of competition. The new Formula Ford championship will continue to feature on the live-televised supporting bill for UK motorsport’s biggest spectator draw, the British Touring Car Championship.
