| Introduction:
The Ontario Formula Ford Challenge Series is a competitive, economical, and very enjoyable series of races designed to challenge everyone from the budding Professional to the seasoned Master and of course welcoming rookies of all ages. The average grid of F1600 in 2005/2006/2007 was 21+ cars & in 2007 there were over 40 drivers registered in the series. The paddock activity is social and light-hearted at most events and it is not uncommon to see competitors sharing a laugh or just hanging out at each other’s tents or trailers. Events: There are 12 Rounds - contested over the span of 5 months at Canadian Automobile Sport Clubs sanctioned Race Ontario Regional Events. Each weekend consists of 2 races, with exclusive practices and qualifying sessions (In other words we do not share our sessions with any other open wheels class). The two race program was arranged to create a true "Double Header" and avoid Saturday's bad luck from ruining your chances at the Championship therefore the 10 best results counts towards the Championship . The weekends and locations for our racing season can be found below. 2008 Schedule: May 10 - 11 , BEMC – Spring Trophy Race Mosport International Raceway May 31 – June 1 , CRDA - Shootout Shannonville Motorsports Park June 14 - 15 , NASCAR – Fathers Day Double header Mosport International Raceway July 26 - 27 , MCO Ted Powell Memorial Calabogie Motorsport Park Aug. 9 – 10 , BARC Canadian Touring Trophy Races Mosport International Raceway September 13 - 14 , BEMC Indian Summer Races Mosport International Raceway September 27 - 28 , PRO/Mosport Formula Car CANAM Cup Mosport International Raceway >>>>> *this is not a points race weekend* Classes: New in 2008, There are three classes eligible for points collection. The "FFA" class is for chassis built between 1995-2008; The "FFB" class is for chassis built between 1985 and 1994; The "FFC" class is for chassis built between 1969 and 1984 ( excluding Swift DB1) The date of manufacture is for the individual car, not the model. If a prototype of your car was built prior to 1994 but wasn't released in production until post January 1, 1995, you are Class "A". It is the responsibility of the car owner/driver to consult the CASC - OR General Competition Regulations to ensure their vehicle meets the class specifications. If you have any questions about the different classes, just send us an email at info@offc.ca. Series Fee: There is a series fee payable to the Operations Director before the 15th of May each race year. The Operations Director will collect the series fee of $100 dollars from all competitors. The Operations Director will keep a record of each driver's status and make sure by working with the grid marshals that those who are not members in good standing are excused from the OFFC grid. Tires: There is a spec tire for the series, the Dunlop Formula Ford treaded tire. If you have any questions about performance, price, or availability, email info@offc.ca. This tire has established itself as an excellent performer in the wet and the dry. From experience - a set of tires can last multiple weekends on a Class "A & B" cars and up to an entire season on Class "C" car. The points system: It is the same for each class, however the OFFC Champion and winner of Brian Stewart's award (IPS Test) will be the class "A" winner. Please take note, that previous winners of Brian Stewarts IPS test are not eligible to receive the test ride again, therefore if a previous winner wins again this year the IPS test will go to the runner-up (who has not had a test). Therefore if one wish to run for OFFC Champion award and Brian Stewart award, he/she/it must register his/her car as an "A" regardless of the year of the car. In addition as above-mentioned only the 10 best results out of the 12 races count towards the championship. Point distribution: 1st = 100pts, 2nd = 88pts, 3th = 78pts, 4th = 70pts, 5th = 64pts, 6th = 60pts, 7th = 56pts, 8th = 52 pts, 9th = 48 pts, 10th = 44 pts, 11 = 40pts, 12th = 36 pts, 13th = 34pts, 14th = 32pts, 15th = 30pts, 16th = 28pts, 17th = 26pts, 18th = 24pts, 19th = 22pts, 20th and lower = 20pts : General Competition Rules: All Events are run under the the 2008 CASC-OR General Competition Rules, Formula Ford 1600 Regulations for 2008 subsequent bulletins, and any supplementary rules and regulations issued for each event.. www.casc.on.ca/documents/regulations/rr08qc-ff.pdf This site is best viewed with Internet Explorer on a PC computer |
