In a joint decision, North Island Formula Ford (NIFF) and South Island Formula Ford (SIFF) Clubs’ have postponed the opening round of the 2022 New Zealand Formula Ford Championship scheduled at Highlands Motorsport Park in Cromwell, 12-14 January 2022.
Indecision and uncertainty from the government over Covid protocols, boundaries etc, combined with the lack of any form of testing and race mileage by NIFF competitors who this season, along with SIFF, run an all new Yokohama tyre and weight, have all contributed to this decision.
The opening round of the2022 New Zealand Formula Ford Championship will take place at the Bruce McLaren Motorsport Park in Taupo, 25-27 March 2022. An announcement will be made in the very near future for round 2 which is likely to happen in April or May 2022, in the South Island.
This season’s national championship consists of two Super Rounds, one in each Island with 4 x 20min races at each event in conjunction with the Hampton Downs NZ Race Academy and Yokohama Tyres, which has a massive $60,000 prize package consisting of $8,000 of pole awards, a $42,000 national championship competitor travel fund and three Toyota Racing Series tests, courtesy of the Tony Quinn Foundation.
