Yeah a bit of trailing spray would have been good in the pics. Not sure how happy my camera would be with pouring rain tho! The lens isnt waterproof.

How long have you raced formula fords for? I've always fancied it, looks great fun. Do you race against rory butcher?

This is my fourth year, I did race against him yeah, finished second to him last year, sorry, I was vice champion  :signLOL:

They are mega fun to drive, small engine but laptimes are around 55 seconds so shows you how quick corner speed etc.  :driver:

Its not cheap to get into but is worth every penny in my eyes. Some of the mods discussed on here make ff1600 look very affordable however!  :happy2:

Yeah I know what you mean, when I had the mk3 track car it seemed a money pit but compared to the everyday mk5 it was nowhere near.
I have looked at few formula fords on pistonheads and the cars really hold value. Doubt it if I will ever do it but really intrests me. Did you race against Damon hills son at the round at the British gt weekend? Do you do Scottish ff or national?
