A truly unique opportunity to acquire a complete Double-championship-winning formula ford 1600 car! We have upgraded and enhanced the car since 2015 to achieve the 2019 & 2021 Scottish Formula Ford titles and are selling now due to retirement from racing.

ROLLING CHASSIS

Purchased by us in 2015 directly from Medina Sport, who converted it to their highly-acclaimed Kent design from the base RF99 chassis in 2012. It had only done a handful of races since conversion at the time. Raced by us in the Scottish FF1600 Championship since, with only one race each at Cadwell Park & Oulton Park outside of this.

Record in Scottish FF1600:

2015 = 13 races, 9 podiums, 1 pole, 3rd overall

2016 = 8 races, 1 win, 5 podiums (part-season)

2017 = 11 races, 1 win, 5 podiums, 1 pole, 3rd overall

2018 = 12 races, 5 podiums, 4 poles, 2nd overall

2019 = 12 races, 7 wins, 12 podiums, 6 poles, 1st overall

2020 = 7 races, 2 wins, 6 podiums, 3 poles (no champ)

2021 = 8 races, 8 wins, 8 podiums, 8 poles, 1st overall

ENGINE

Extremely strong Bold engine purchased by us in mid-2017 and maintained regularly by Bold since. A conrod bolt failure in 2020 pre-season meant it had a complete ground-up rebuild to the latest specification in all aspects, including a BRAND NEW block, for the shortened 2020 season. Only 8 race weekends plus one test day since.

Engine Features & Highlights:
