The Anatomy & Development of the Formula Ford Race Car

Formula Ford racing was the proving ground for many of today’s most celebrated racing stars. The first Formula Ford race car mated a Formula 3 chassis to a Ford 1500cc engine. The result was a surprisingly quick and responsive open-wheel single-seater that was also reliable and relatively inexpensive to campaign since its beginnings in 1967, Formula Ford proved to be a formula for success. The Anatomy and Development of the Formula Ford Race Car is a history of Formula Ford racing, as well as the drivers and cars that have made the racing famous. Over the last 25 years, more than 30,000 men and women have raced Formula Ford. Many have run simply for fun. Others have gone on to greater honors, among them Ayrton Senna, Emerson Fittipaldi, Michael Andretti, Nigel Mansell, Arie Luyendyk, Jody Scheckter, Danny Sullivan, Gilles Villeneuve, and many more. Here as well is an encyclopedia of all the chassis builders, including Lotus, Crossle, Swift, Lola, Van Diemen, Hawke, Merlyn, Titan, and over 180 more. Packed with more than 460 photos and a comprehensive text, this is the history of Formula Ford.
