North Island Formula Ford have pulled the covers off a new concept for the future development of the category. NIFF, along with 15 investors, have purchased a 2001 Van Diemen Class 1 Formula Ford, allowing aspiring single seater drivers the opportunity to drive a true race car.
NIFF will run a “Have A Go” day approximately every second month at Hampton Downs, where three drivers get 100km testing mileage over a several sessions.
The HAG-car (Have-A-Go Car) will suit drivers looking to start or continue their career from junior classes such as kartsport, Formula First, Toyota 86, BMW Series and more.
Drivers’ will receive tuition and guidance from experienced NIFF engineers and Formula Ford drivers.
The opportunity offers cost-effective mileage with a 100km session in conjunction with three other drivers, at the Hampton Downs circuit, for $1,595 each.
Other drive options, tracks, distances etc are open for discussion. If demand is high, more test days will become available.
The HAG-car is also available to lease for race meetings or private test days.
The HAG-car “Have A Go” days are a non-profit program and designed purely to provide the opportunity to test a Formula Ford and encourage participation in FF racing in our domestic competitions.
The car will be on display this Saturday at Hampton Dows at the second round of the Giltrap Group NIFF Series.
NIFF acknowledge the 15 investors for making this project come to life as well as their supporting partners, iSign it, Carters Tyre’s, Pro Race services, Racecar and Custom Electrical, Odyssey Batteries, Hampton Downs and the Hampton Downs Driving Academy.
