The Scottish Formula Ford Championship is a single seater open-wheel motorsport competition in Scotland. Championship events have been held since 1968, and there is a long pedigree involving 1600cc Ford Kent engined cars. By the mid-80s the FF1600 category was regarded as a mainstay of Scottish motor-racing.[1] Despite variations in the format of the race meetings over the years, the Formula Ford class has remained popular among drivers.[2] Several drivers have progressed to professional racing careers after gaining experience at this entry level.
Over the years, races have been held at Ingliston Motor Racing Circuit, near Edinburgh and the Knockhill Racing Circuit in Fife. The events are organised by the Scottish Motor Racing Club as part of meetings where the programme features a range of categories.[3]
In the early 1980s the races were watched by crowds that were 6000 strong.[4] In 2013 the races have crowds of around 3,000 spectators recorded.[5]
