Brits to head to New Zealand races

HISTORIC (PRE-1972) AND CLASSIC (Pre-’82) Formula Ford owners are being offered a golden opportunity to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the class’s debut in New Zealand in an exciting four-event, 12-race mini-series to be promoted over successive weekends in January 2019.

The Southern Cross World FF Challenge visits Taupo, Hampton Downs and Pukekoke.

It has been masterminded from the UK by London-born, New Zealand-raised Alan Crocker, who competed in the country’s first FF race in a Lotus 20B and still contests the French FF series each summer and ‘down under’ in Europe’s winter.

Crocker has put together a package to include return shipping, insurance, customs bonds, entry fees and intervenue transport for under £4000.

“All drivers have to do is turn up, add fuel and have fun,” he told Autosport. “Around 10 are on board already.”
