A FF Scholarship Car Now Being Offered By RMVR

Exciting News!

An RMVR Formula Ford Scholarship

Arrive & Drive Program

Is Now Being Offered By

The RMVR Formula Ford Race Group

The RMVR Formula Ford (FF) Race Group is now offering a vintage Winkelmann Formula Ford as a Scholarship Program to those interested in racing a FF with RMVR. This is an Arrive & Drive Program intended to increase the interest in racing with RMVR and, in particular, racing a Formula Ford.



This is a voluntary collective effort by RMVR FF racers. The car is donated for use in the Program. Through a collective effort, routine maintenance, tires, car storage, fuel for the weekend and transportation of the car to/from the track is all provided. Trackside support (mechanical and moral) is also a part of the Arrive & Drive Program. While the arrive and drive program is meant to remove as many barriers to trying vintage racing as possible, the scholarship recipients are still encouraged to “get their hands dirty” and help out with their weekend activities and preparation as much as possible.



Key aspects of this Arrive & Drive Program are:

• Those interested in the Scholarship must apply for the Program (see back).


• The car is available for the spring RMVR Drivers' School weekend and all regular RMVR events.


• Preference will be given to applicants who wish to do the RMVR School plus two subsequent events during the year with the intent of getting an RMVR Competition License and/or to those who desire to race a FF with RMVR on an ongoing basis, but wish to first "try one on."


• For the RMVR Drivers' School, the Program is offered free as an Arrive & Drive weekend. However, the recipient must first join RMVR ($75), pay the RMVR "Mentor Program" entry fee (currently $350 which includes some additional benefits), and have their own (or borrowed) racing gear. For racers new to open wheel cars, the car will also be made be available for a required track lapping day (track fee paid for by the recipient) in the car prior to the school weekend.


• For subsequent race weekends the Arrive & Drive Program will cost a $400 Support Fee (paid into the FF Scholarship Program) plus the regular RMVR entry fee (and/or any desired track lapping day fees).


• Necessary Liability & Damage Control stuff: Obviously a waiver of liability for the use of the race car will be required. As with any racing, in the event of damage to the car due to an accident (regardless of fault) or abuse of the car, the driver is responsible for repairs. In the case of driving the Scholarship car, to minimize repair costs, repairs to the Scholarship car will be done as much as possible by collective free voluntary time and talent of the RMVR FF Racers Group (which is quite awesome). But all out-of-pocket costs for needed repairs will be the responsibility of the driver. To limit financial exposure, that out-of-pocket liability to the driver will be capped at a maximum of $2,500.
