The BRSCC Formula Ford Festival returns to Brands Hatch for a 53rd edition, taking on a special theme in honour and celebration of one of its previous champions – Gerrit Van Kouwen.

Following the Dutchman’s passing earlier this year, the BRSCC has elected to honour Van Kouwen, 40 years on from his victory in 1984. For more information, CLICK HERE. 

Unlike traditional events, drivers will be drawn into heats as part of a knockout race format in their Kent-engined Formula Fords. These initial races on Saturday will be followed by semi-finals and the all-important Grand Final on Sunday. Other previous winners include Jenson Button, Johnny Herbert and Mark Webber.

A full support programme includes the Mazda MX-5 Championship, Mazda MX-5 Clubman Championship, Mazda MX-5 SuperCup, CityCar Cup, BMW 1 Series SuperCup, Evolution Trophy, Mazda MX-5 MK4 Trophy, Renault Cup and Classic VW Cup.
