Dempsey sells Formula Ford team after 30 years

Renowned Formula Ford team owner Cliff Dempsey has sold his squad after 30 years.

The team, which has been one of the most successful in FF1600, has now been renamed Low Dempsey Racing after being bought by long-serving mechanic Andy Low.

Announcing the news on social media, Dempsey said: “After 30 years as team owner of Cliff Dempsey Racing, last January Michelle Dempsey and myself sold the race team, but don’t despair as it’s gone to a very good home in a good friend of mine, Andy Low.

“Both myself and Michelle are still working with the team to help the transition.”

Former Castle Combe FF1600 champion Luke Cooper will enter the opening races of the Combe season this Saturday in his Swift SC18 as well as the first round of the National series at Oulton Park on 18 July before deciding which to contest for the rest of the year.
