Formula Ford has been the cornerstone of junior motor racing in the UK since Ray Allen won the inaugural race at Brands Hatch in July 1967. Now some 38 years later, the championship continues to attract the best young racing talent from across the globe.

A testament to the category's success is its presence in 32 countries worldwide. The category has helped launch the careers of some talented drivers including Jenson Button, Eddie Irvine, David Coulthard, Mika Hakkinen, Michael Schumacher, Nigel Mansell and the late Ayrton Senna.

In 2007, the championship remains an integral part of the prestigious Formula 3 and British GT package, and is set to provide another exciting and close season of single seater racing.

Many believe that Castle Combe is the finest club racing venue in the UK – with its combination of a friendly atmosphere and superb action bringing thousands of spectators to the circuit.

The Melton Concrete Products FF1600 Championship plays a massive part in that success. A survey of the many spectators who line the banks from the start of qualifying to the very last lap of racing at every event would doubtless reveal that the main attraction is the ff1600 series.

There is great kudos attached to this championship, as demonstrated by the fact that it always appears on the support bill at Combe's vastly popular British Formula Three and GT meeting.
