🏆 NSW Formula Ford State Champions. 2026.

When Eli Patten .patto first walked through our doors, he had never driven a manual gearbox.

This weekend, he won the NSW Formula Ford State Championship and set the Shelley Circuit, lap record in the final race, after the title was already won. That detail tells you everything you need to know about him.

The car has its own story. Former Anglo champion Rob Storey .storey16 holds the lap record at Sydney Motorsport Park Motorsport Park in this very chassis. Eli now holds it at One Raceway. Two champions. Two decades. One car.

To Nathan, Kate, Troy, Koa, and the entire Patten family — the early starts, the late nights, the travel, this is your achievement as much as it is Eli's.

When Eli first came to us, the raw ability was obvious but so was the work ahead. He approached every session, every debrief, and every test day with the same focus and willingness to be coached. That is what makes the difference. Not just talent, but the ability to take feedback, apply it, and come back the next day ready to go again.

Rob Storey has been an invaluable part of this campaign, a former champion in Eli's corner, in the very car he raced. To Will Liston, the John Smith Trophy battle between you and Eli was a genuine highlight of the season. Competing hard on track while supporting his development off it is a credit to you.

NSW Formula Ford's decision to award Eli the 'John Smith Trophy' recognising the best combined performer across Formula Ford 1600 and Historic classes, is a fitting acknowledgement of a season that went right to the wire.

We are proud of what this team has built. We are excited about what comes next.
Congratulations, Eli from the entire Anglo Team. 🏁

The sounds of standards being kept. 🚛💧

Before every event, before every driver straps in, before the cameras roll — there’s a whole lot of work happening behind the scenes that most people never see.

Washing the race truck is one of those jobs. It’s not glamorous. But it matters. Because the way we present ourselves on and off the track says everything about how we operate. We do things right, every time - no shortcuts, no half measures.

Snowfoam. Rinse. Wash. Rinse. Done properly.

Shoutout to Bigboi Car Care — the WashrFlo Pressure Washer, WashrFlo 15m Hose, WashrPro Short Trigger Gun, and FoamR Bottle make this part of the job genuinely satisfying. 🫧

Turn the sound up and enjoy the process. 🔊

Another incredible day at the office. 🏁🏎️

Last Friday we had an amazing group of drivers take on our Stage 1 Formula Ford Driving Experience at Sydney Motorsport Park and as always, the smiles said it all. 😎

Partners, kids, mates, and family are all welcome to come along, soak up the atmosphere, and watch their person do something genuinely extraordinary.

There's nothing quite like seeing someone climb out of a Formula Ford for the first time. The buzz is real. 🔥

Another Stage 1 event completed at Wodonga TAFE Driver Training Facility. 🙌

Here are a few highlight photos from our latest event at Wodonga, VIC on Saturday 30th May 2026. 🗓️

One of our participants enjoyed his first experience so much he came back, and this time brought his son along to have a go too. Watching them take turns in the car was a pretty special moment. 😎

If you've ever wanted to know what it feels like to drive a Formula Ford, send us a message and we'll walk you through it 🏁

Prep is everything. 🛠️ Check out this behind-the-scenes look at the Anglo Racing Academy workshop as we swap out a CV joint on one of our Van Diemen RF91 Formula Fords.

In open-wheel racing, every component matters.

The CV joints take an incredible amount of stress, transferring raw power from the gearbox directly to the wheels. Keeping these components fresh and perfectly greased is crucial for reliability and laying down fast lap times. ⏱️

Our team of professional race mechanics ensures every single-seater in our fleet is prepped to true racing standards.

Want to experience the raw, unfiltered speed of a genuine Formula Ford? No pace cars, no speed limits, just you and the track.

Sydney Motorsport Park Experience Day Highlights 📸

Friday 17th April 2026 🗓️

Some days carry a little more meaning.

This one belonged to Paul Stockley.

Paul joined us on track on his actual birthday, alongside his brother Darryl - both long-time Anglo drivers who have progressed through:

Stage 1 → Stage 2 → Stage 3

Not chasing racing.
Not chasing lap times.

Just doing what they enjoy - getting in the car and driving.

And that’s exactly what this is about.

Happy Birthday Paul, from the entire Anglo Team. 🥳

🏎️ The Return of the 2-Seater

Another milestone from the day:

The 2-Seater Formula Ford returned to the track following its recent engine rebuild.

And it didn’t take long to see the impact.

Passengers back in the car.
Smiles back in the pit lane.
That first-lap reaction - every single time.

This isn’t just an add-on.

It’s often the moment that turns spectators into future drivers.
