Big news today for the Formula Ford Australia crews, but for Queensland State Championship racing we are all Motorsport Australia year in year out, and almost all active competitors in Queensland use the Kent-engine specification. The Kent cars go by the category name Formula Ford 1600.

If you want more information about FF1600 racing in Queensland feel free to reach out.

Coming up at Queensland Raceway on September 19 and 20, all the open wheel and sports car action will be gathered at the one event, come out for a look.

The AASA has copped yet another hit, with the Australian Formula Ford Championship becoming the latest category to defect effective immediately.

Thinking formula cars could be the way to go? Formula Ford 1600 is the popular Formula Ford of choice in Queensland, using the original series Kent engine, one of the simplest engines in circuit racing they don't even worry about running an alternator!

Each year the FF1600 cars have a one race meeting Nationals to compliment all the State Championships, and this year that will be at SMP. Because the Historic cars use the same engine and are effectively the same category but in a preserved state, they can join in the fun as well.

Need info on Formula Ford 1600? You can drop the QRDA a question any time.

2026 Australian Formula Ford 1600 Nationals are just around the corner!! Time to get organised.

The 2026 Nationals will be run at the HSRCA Summer Festival at SMSP over 3 days, from Friday 27th to Sunday 29th November.

The Nationals, as in recent years, will see a mixed grid of both Formula Ford 1600 and Historic Formula Ford for all sessions.

The 2025 AFF1600 Nationals at Mallala was a great event, with close racing throughout the field, with a solid mix of FF1600 and Historic Formula Ford cars.

Whilst the final schedule has not been finalised we are expecting the following:
Friday: minimum of 2 x 15 minute practice sessions, 1 x 15 minute Qualifying session,
Saturday and Sunday: 4 heats (17min, expect 8 lap) and a Final (23min, expect 12 lap)

Trophies will be awarded for places in the Final for Formula Ford 1600 and Historic Formula.

In addition, the Analogue Trophy will be awarded for Formula Ford 1600s, being irrespective of the car’s year of build or level of modifications over time or the age of the driver, the only requirement is that after inspection the car is confirmed as having no data logging assistance for the driver and solely analogue displays for engine parameters.

Entry fee will be in the range of $670/vehicle and a pit lane 2 car Garage around $420. This is an estimate and will be confirmed closer to the event.

It is planned for the Event to be covered by Blendline TV, including the Formula Ford races.

We are now almost 3 months out from the 2026 Nationals and its time to lock in your accommodation, if you have not already done so. There are great accommodation options close to the track, including directly across the road at Alpha Hotel Eastern Creek.
