What is the Historic Formula Ford 2000 Association website?

Updated

The site at historicff2000.co.uk is the official home of the Historic Formula Ford 2000 Association, the body behind historic racing for Formula Ford 2000 cars. It serves drivers who want to race winged, slick-tyred historic single-seaters without spending a fortune, and it points them to a championship organised by the Historic Sports Car Club (HSCC), the UK's leading historic motor racing organiser. The site itself is primarily an information and community hub: it introduces the category, lists the championship, and provides history, forum, links and gallery sections.

What the site covers

The homepage introduces Formula Ford 2000 as a single-seat racing formula that began in 1975. It notes that many FF2000 drivers moved on to higher levels of the sport, citing Ayrton Senna, Damon Hill and Martin Brundle as drivers who enjoyed success in FF2000 before climbing the motor racing ladder.

For the historic category, the site frames Historic Formula Ford 2000 as a popular choice for drivers who want wings-and-slicks historic racing at reasonable cost. The championship races at major UK circuits, including the Silverstone GP circuit, the full Brands Hatch circuit and Oulton Park.

Site sections

The navigation reflects what the association publishes:

  • Home – introduction to the association and the formula
  • History – background on Formula Ford 2000
  • Championship – information on the HSCC-organised historic championship
  • Forum – community discussion
  • Links – related resources
  • Contact – getting in touch with the association
  • Gallery / Videos – period and modern images and footage

The site also lists manufacturers associated with the category, including Alpine, Crossle, Delta, Dulon, Elden, Lola, March-related names such as Mallock and Merlyn, Reynard, Royale, Tiga, Van Diemen and many others. This manufacturer list is useful if you are identifying a car or checking whether a particular marque is part of the historic scene.

Who it is for

The site is aimed at three overlapping audiences:

  1. Prospective competitors – drivers considering historic racing with wings and slicks who want a category with a recognised championship and a UK circuit calendar.
  2. Owners and preparers – people running or maintaining Formula Ford 2000 cars who need history, manufacturer references and community contacts.
  3. Historians and fans – readers interested in the formula's lineage and the drivers who passed through it.

What to check before relying on it

The site is an introduction and directory rather than a live entry system. Details such as championship regulations, entry fees, calendar dates and eligibility are not set out in the material available here, so confirm them with the association or the HSCC before planning a season. Use the Contact section or the Championship pages as your starting point, and treat the manufacturer list as a reference rather than a definitive eligibility register.
