The UK Formula Ford Championship enters it's 40th consecutive year of operation and it is this heritage that makes Formula Ford such an incredible championship to take part in. There is only two other single seater racing formulae in the world that work on the freedom of chassis and engine build; they are Formula Three and Formula One.
Formula Ford continues to resist wings and their resulting downforce which allows drivers the only chance in their careers to master the mechanical grip that a car and tyre will produce when driven and set up properly. If a driver misses this crucial stage of learning in their career, then they may never get a chance to regain this critical experience.
