THE LEGEND OF THE FORMULA FORD FESTIVAL
FIFTY YEARS OF MOTOR RACING ACTION
For more than 50 years the Formula Ford Festival has been the proving ground for ambitious racing drivers looking to make their mark.
The Brands Hatch meeting was where the likes of Johnny Herbert, Eddie Irvine and Jenson Button first made their names, while both Michael Schumacher and Nigel Mansell never made it out of their heats.
Now a club meeting, in its heyday the Festival was one of the UK's biggest motor sport events, drawing tens of thousands of spectators, and enjoying more than a decade of prime coverage on the BBC's Grandstand.
From humble beginnings at a cold Snetterton, the move to Brands Hatch, the peak of the 1980s followed by a gentle decline, The Legend of the Formula Ford Festival tells the entire 50-year story of the event.
Drawing on exclusive contributions from some of the event's legends and prestigious alumni, it covers all the on-track action together with off-track intrigue and controversies.
