British Formula Ford 2010!

[Deemun]

Well I guess it's time to make a start on this thread. Racing at least, for the 2009 season, is now over and James Cole and Chrissy Palmer should be congratulated on their respective triumphs in the MSA British Championship and the Formula Ford Festival as should the Jamun Team on another lock out.

But what of next year? Will there be a change of tyre supplier and if yes will it level the field at all? Will we see teams running 2010 spec cars with the impending 2011 safety modifications on the horizon or will they hang onto their current cars? Will the championship include an overseas round again (Spa?) or stay within the confines of the UK? How many race weekends (9/10?) and rounds (20-25??). Presumably it will remain with the SRO F3/GT package.

What of the teams? Any new or returning entrants on the horizon? And finally who will be the drivers and the contenders? We already know that Josh Hill is confirmed for a 2nd year with championship team Jamun and they will be looking for a strong performance from him. I've also heard that Raysport have re-signed their current drivers Jaffer & Mingay. Cammish has stated that he is very likely to return but hasn't said if that will be with KMR and it's interesting that he should choose to miss the 09 Festival in favour of an ADAC round abroad. Speaking of KMR they seem very likely to have Castle Combe FF1600 ace Marcus Allen on board next year. Who else are we likely to see in the championship and where are tey coming from? Karting? Saxmax? FVee? FF1600?

It will be interesting to see who is out testing and in what over the coming weeks. Watch this space!
