FORD SIGNS UP FOR SPA
9 January, 2008:
The British Formula Ford Championship is to spread its wings to
mainland Europe later this season with a meeting at the Belgian
Grand Prix circuit of Spa-Francorchamps.
The twin-race June
date at Spa will see the British Championship joining forces with
drivers from the Benelux series and will, says Sam Roach, of
championship promoter RacingLine, provide a memorable weekend.
He said: "It's
not often that young drivers are afforded the opportunity to
tackle one of the world's greatest circuits, and I am sure it will
be a highlight of the British Formula Ford season. We have enjoyed
welcoming our Benelux counterparts, whose championship has also
adopted the Duratec power unit, in the UK in recent seasons and I
know that they are keen to reciprocate."
Another highlight
of the 25-race British Formula Ford calendar is a support slot on
the A1GP visit to the UK, at Brands Hatch in early May. Formula
Ford will also support the British F3 International Series at all
its UK dates, and will in addition visit Knockhill in Scotland to
support the British GT Championship.
The 2008 British
Formula Ford Championship opens its books for driver registrations
tomorrow (Thursday) at the Autosport International racing car show
at the NEC, Birmingham. The championship will feature on the
British Racing and Sports Car Club stand and Formula Fordsters
will also be in action in the show's Live Action Arena during the
four-day event. |
