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, Damon Hill 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, this book tells the story of the Festival. 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.
Ben Evans has written race reports and features for Autosport, Motorsport News and RaceFans. net on Formula 1 and international sports car racing. This is Ben' s first book and his first time writing in-depth about his favourite category of motor sport - Formula Ford. A former competitor and commentator at the Formula Ford Festival, Ben has an insider' s perspective on this unique event, though he remains first and foremost a fan.
