Hi,

Toying with the idea for getting a Formula Ford car to use for track days.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for websites that list these for sale ?

Cheers

Check with the people who operate the track days you want to do, some don't like single seaters!!!

I heard summat about trackday organisers not liking open wheel cars, ie formula Ford...can't think why just now or why they weren't fussed about Westfields et al....not sure if FFs struggle with noise limits too?

Good luck finding summat though

WISHING - If you are still interested in a FF there are usually a few to be found at this site.

I've thought of doing something similar recently...

Pick up a cheapy single seater and either get some wheel covers made up or modify the bodywork to enclose the wheels?

Might end up damn ugly thugh

Thumbs up

gregh, is it just from a debris being thrown up point of view then, not a wheel to wheel contact sort of thing?
