TECHNICAL

​

From its inception, Formula Ford has focused on creating a level playing field for competitors through regulation of technical aspects of the cars as well as cost containment to make Formula Ford racing available to as many as possible.

 

It is very important that you understand the technical regulations as vehicles are regularly inspected at race meetings to ensure that they comply to these regulations.

 

Technical regulations are monitored by the FFA and modified as required to ensure the spirit of Formula Ford is upheld.

​

CONTROL CAMSHAFT

​

ALL Formula Ford 1600 cars must use a registered camshaft, which is numbered and recorded by the FFA.

 

Formula Ford 1600 competitors can purchase a new camshaft from their preferred supplier both overseas and in Australia. The competitor MUST then have the camshaft checked for compliance, registration and numbering.

 

To get your camshaft reground or checked, complete the Application for Control Camshaft form in full and forward it to the FFA administrator.

​

 

CONTROL PARTS FOR DURATEC-POWERED CARS

 

Duratec-powered cars in Australia must use the following controlled parts for competition:

  • Flywheel

  • Collector

  • Wheels

  • New Motec ECU

​

These parts can be purchased directly from the Formula Ford Association Inc. using this form.
