One of the latest series to join the British Automobile Racing Club roster is the Heroes of FF1600 Sprint Cup. Formed in 2024, this single-seater championship is the growing home to the legendary Formula Ford cars of yesteryear, which has made the careers of so many motorsporting stars.

The cars feature no aero wings, skinny, narrow tyres and 1600cc engines. This creates the perfect blend for plenty of frantic, skittish wheel-to-wheel racing as it was back in the eighties and nineties.

The championship is a real summer series as it begins in May at the home of British motorsport – Silverstone before a fast and furious middle meeting at Thruxton during the Retro weekend, before culminating at Donington Park in August for the finale.

Family, friends and motorsport fans will be able to watch all the action from the BARC organised race weekends LIVE on our YouTube channel – www.youtube.com/@britishautomobileracingclub with the FF1600 series kicking off its calendar on the 17th May at Silverstone.
