British Formula Ford Championship
The British series is the main Formula Ford championship in the world. Created in 1976, the championship has run to all four generations of regulations and specifications. In 2013, the series adopted the Formula Ford EcoBoost 200 specification, which include an increase in the EcoBoost engine's power, along with the addition of a fully adjustable aerodynamic package which includes front and rear wings previously never used in the British championship.
[9] Another change for the 2013 season was Duratec class cars being ineligible for the championship, leaving only the EcoBoost class.
[10] The series also moved back to supporting the
BTCC.
[11] In the 2015 the championship was renamed
MSA Formula.
Several former drivers of the British championship have become successful in Formula One, including
Eddie Irvine and
Anthony Davidson, while Formula Ford champions
Ayrton Senna and
Jenson Button also went on to win the
Formula One Drivers' Championship.
