Historic Formula Ford 2000 Association

If my vote is worth anything, as a driver planning on running in the series in 2017.


I'm with Bob on this. I can't imagine being at a disadvantage against a car a few years newer than my RF82.

Same Engine. Same tyres, Same non "Professional" pilot? Bring it on!

Reality means that time is moving on and an '87 car next season will be 30 years old.

A years worth of racing will soon tell if there is a massive difference in speed and a class split, can be introduced if required.
I think it is better to come 5th out of 30 as opposed to 3rd out of 10.


I'm not so keen on having FVL 2 litre cars in the same class but a genuine FF2000 class with cars of any age would be awesome.
As long as I am racing against similar cars with drivers and I only have to worry about being beaten buy a better pilot, I'm up for that.

Hello,

I've just acquired an RF83 and plan to come and race as often as feasibly possible in 2017.

For what it's worth I'd say stick with HSCC if you have support and the guarantee of a good field by being mixed with other races.

Yours,
DrewC.

I'm hoping very much to get out a few times in my RF82 next year and am quite happy to be mixed up with either Historic FF2000 or CF3. Having raced in Sports 2000 this year, my 2003 car is very evenly matched with everything from 1978 onwards, proving (to me, at least) that often it's more about the driver than the development of the chassis over time, and you will always find someone to race with somewhere along the line, even when you're as slow as I am!

Technically there are 100-200 cars built that can race in URS HFF2000 events so in theory you should have no problem getting a full grid of cars.

If the grids are not filling up in URS class why not open up to pre 86 for invitation class as there are cars
out there that people could buy and race and increasing the minimum weight limit on these cars would level things out a little and stop some "wannabe" buying the latest car possible to come and win every round.

I have RF83 project car for sale but the phone hasn't been ringing so I guess not that many people want to race.
