The British Formula Ford Championship sampler day

Silverstone, 2 December 2008

For those of you new to the concept – the British Formula Ford Championship will have an exclusive booking of the National Circuit at Silverstone. There will be a full day of testing, in sessions, which also includes the Formula 3 prize drive for the winner of the British Formula Ford Championship 2008.

British Formula Ford teams will be set up in the Silverstone garages, with their Formula Ford Duratec cars, and potential competitors for 2009 will be able to test the cars and meet the teams.

If you’re serious about your career in racing and think you’ve got what it takes, why not come along for the day?

All drivers who would like to take part (aged 16 and over) are to contact championship co-ordinator Penny Mattocks with a brief racing CV (1 page only) in addition to the completed Sampler Day Registration Form. Download here in PDF or Word. This form will also ask how you plan to budget for your 2009 racing season. You do not need to hold a current ARDS racing licence to take part in the Sampler Day – a kart licence is sufficient.

Penny will forward all these completed Registration Forms on to current teams as an introduction, to give the teams an opportunity to contact prospective test drivers for the day, and discuss their budget and training programme.

The Sampler Day will also include a training seminar and body analysis tests, as well as be supported by our full BFFC Race Centre with refreshments, shelter and information through the day.
