Williams: Festival is mine to lose

BRITISH RACING AND SPORTS Car Club Formula Ford 1600 National champion Luke Williams believes the Formula Ford Festival at Brands Hatch is his to lose this weekend.

Williams stormed to the National crown aboard his Firman RFR16 this year after taking seven wins, and goes into the prestigious event as one of the favourites. “I think the Festival is more important [than the national title], it’s a big event to win,” said Williams, who took two wins at Brands Hatch at the beginning of the year. “If it’s dry it’s going to be mine to lose. In those conditions we have the pace.”

Also in action during the weekend at Brands Hatch will be the Historic Formula Ford Festival as well as Formula Ford Masters, which will be dubbed the Masters 50th anniversary race to celebrate 50 years since Formula Ford racing began on the very same circuit.

The BMW Compact Cup, BRSCC Porsche Championship, Irish Supercars and Sports 2000 Championship are the other categories that will be in action over the weekend.
