FAQs on Historic FF2000 from the HSCC: 29 October 2024
- The HSCC is more expensive than Equipe!
-
- We have found that the discounts offered by Classic FF and Historic FF have increased entries significantly and are proposing to apply this to HFF2000 as well for 2025. We would like to see a reduction of £100 minimum and this will be decided at our November board meeting.
- What is your refund policy for entries as Equipe Classic want payment 14 days in advance of a meeting and will only refund 50% of an entry fee up to two days prior to the event when the full amount is kept?
-
- Simple, full amount refunded if notified by 12 noon on the Wednesday before the meeting as usual.
- Will the HSCC still run the Historic Formula Ford 2000 Championship in 2025?
-
- Yes. It is registered and we will run it as a championship as normal.
- Is the HSCC Historic Formula Ford 2000 Championship exclusively for Historic Formula Ford 2000s?
-
- Yes
- Why are you not allowing BMTR into the HSCC paddock?
-
- Not our decision. BMTR is welcome in our paddock and to sell Hoosier tyres to our members. They have decided not to do that. HPT will fit free of charge any Hoosier tyres you bring to our meetings as part of its trackside service. To provide continuity, the club will make tyres available at meetings if there is a demand from HFF2000 competitors.
- Why did the HSCC tender for tyres, why not leave things as they were?
-
- The HSCC issued a tender for tyres after it was revealed that NOVA had shifted from its original intention to partner with BMTR to having HPT as an exclusive retailer. BMTR countered with an offer from Hoosier and Continental for virtually all of our championships. This tender ensures the ongoing production and supply of the majority of tyres needed for our series and championships. Additionally, it establishes fixed pricing for a period of four years based on the existing or last price Avons were sold at with restricted inflation. Neither company was prepared to reduce the cost of tyres but both were prepared to use their marketing budget for sponsorship as the HSCC’s official tyre partner. We committed to using the funds for the direct benefit of our members. There is no commission for HSCC from tyre sales. The new Avons need to be tested and found suitable by HFF2000 drivers. The FF1600 tyres have turned out identical to the existing ones and there is no reason to think HFF2000 tyres will be different.
- If the majority of HFF2000 drivers voted to keep Hoosiers as the control tyre would the HSCC allow this?
- Yes.
The HSCC is committed to HFF2000 and will try to address any problems as they arise. We will nominate a board director of your choosing for direct communication to ensure your voice is heard.
