formula first
i was at Manfeild the other day watching their club meeting (i assume) and they had this really close racing class of little open wheelers, I thoughT they were Formula Fords at first.
I then went and had a look at the pits to have a closer look at them, and then a team member looked as if he was going to approach me. My first instinct was "**** I'm in trouble" However he was just coming over to say hey and answer my questions. Anyway, I learnt they are actually Formula First's (or formula vee). Has anybody else ever watched this things, they are bloody close! Quite often they were crossing the line 3-4 wide, no jokes, look on there Facebook page! |

Interesting. Up here we had Formula First (fun, cheap, but slightly dodgy in a way that's hard to describe) and Formula Vee (fun, cheap, mostly self built). Very different beasts.
Is your version the same as either of these? |

Yea mate, the formula Vee pic you linked it what we have, they are formula see cars, however a few years ago the series changed its name to formula first.
Bloody good racing. I found this earlier: https://youtu.be/Xehmo3n8IZI |

However with the unbridled enthusiasm and passion of just one man Dennis Martin it would not survive, thankfully Dennis still works tirelessly organising and supporting the category. Formula Ford is quite a big step up in terms of both cost and being in a competitive car. Unfortunately Formula Ford still struggles to put together a National Championship Series without any form of Corporate support or Television etc |
