2024 AUSTRALIAN
FORMULA FORD 1600 NATIONALS

 

 

The Formula Ford Association is excited to announce the 2024 Australian Formula Ford 1600 Nationals will be held at Morgan Park, Queensland on 8-10 November.

The winner-takes-all single-event format travels north following successful 2023 Phillip Island and 2022 Winton events (click the links to watch the thrilling title races!)

Three heat races will award points to set the grid for a 15-lap Feature Race that decides the title.

Open to all Formula Ford 1600 cars (Kent powered), including Historic Group F in their native specification (Avon tyres). The highest placed Historic Group F competitor will win a prize.

 

Confirmed: Kent-only grid for the entire event, including practice.

The event is being run in conjunction with Queensland Round 5, with only the three Heat races counting towards FFA Qld Club Pointscores & Motorsport Australia State Championships. The Feature Race will be purely for the FF1600 Nationals title. Interstate interest is already strong from WA, NSW and VIC.
