run their ultra successful Van Diemen RF92.

The car was acquired by the team in 2013 from a family friend, was given a full

overhaul and made into the most successful Van Diemen RF92 competing today.

This was the car that built the foundations of the teams success since 2013, and has

attributed endless podiums and much success, with great driver feedback and

satisfaction.

Magnussen winning the famous Formula Ford Festival for the works team.

Diemen RF92, and really made it our own car.

suspension, narrow chassis and lightweight bodywork plus many other features, the

cars results in the hands of many drivers speaks for itself.

place finish in the FF

Festival in the hands of multiple FF champion Stuart Gough, beating off the latest

spec Van Diemen and Ray cars in the process. Not only proving the competitiveness

of a 22 year old car, but the level playing field of FF1600.

WHY MOTORSPORT?

Marketing ‐ Why Motorsport?

Speed, Excitement, Thrills?

Yes, but for businesses the real reason has to be return on

investment and motorsport offers many benefits as a

marketing platform:

• Motor racing at a high level is a brand amplifier

• It is a marketing platform for affordable advertising

• It is a mark of authenticity

• It is a channel which allows direct consumer contact

• Difficult to reach and highly targeted audiences

availability of events.

A typical testday can cost between £1,100 to £1,400, depending on track and

conditions, with a race event ranging between £2,000 and £2,500.

A ‘season budget’ can be tailor made to suit your own requirement, conditions and

circumstances, with no limit on how much testing or racing you can do in the year.

With the options of the National and Regional series, plus the ‘Blue Ribbon’ events

such as the FF Festival and Walter Hayes Trophy, the ‘Formula Ford’ category allows

drivers to learn and experience what the very heart of Motorsport has to offer at

unbelievable value.
