The 50th anniversary of the Formula Ford 2000 category will be marked in style next year in the Historic Sports Car Club’s Historic Formula Ford 2000 Championship.
The HSCC is delighted to confirm that Historic Formula Ford 2000 will continue to be one of the club’s core championships in 2025, building on 18 successful years with the HSCC since the category was formed back in 2007.
The calendar will take in six double-header events at Snetterton, Cadwell Park, Donington Park, Brands Hatch Grand Prix and the Silverstone Finals meeting. A special feature event at Mallory Park in early September will mark the golden anniversary of the inaugural Formula Ford 2000 race, which ran at the Leicestershire circuit early in 1975.
Long time series chair Alan Morgan is stepping down to be replaced by category stalwart Colin Wright, who was the series winner with the HSCC in 2008. Colin and the rest of the HFF2000 committee will continue to provide a welcoming environment and supportive atmosphere in one of the HSCC’s most successful and best-supported championships.
The 2-litre Ford Pinto engined slicks and wings category is a great fit for the HSCC and offers an ideal opportunity for those competing in Historic and Classic Formula Ford to step up if they so wish. In addition Historic FF2000 is an ideal entry-level category into historic single seater racing offering contained costs and affordable fun in a sporting and friendly atmosphere.
Andy Dee-Crowne, CEO of the HSCC, said: “We are delighted to be able to celebrate 50 years of Formula Ford 2000 next year with our excellent Historic Formula Ford 2000 Championship. It is one of our flagship categories and we look forward to another season of strong grids, fine racing and great camaraderie, both on and off the track.”
