For more than 50 years the Formula Ford Festival has been the
proving ground for ambitious racing drivers looking to make their
mark. The Brands Hatch meeting was where the likes of Johnny
Herbert, Damon Hill and Jenson Button first made their names, while
both Michael Schumacher and Nigel Mansell never made it out of
their heats. Now a club meeting, in its heyday the Festival was one
of the UK's biggest motor sport events, drawing tens of thousands
of spectators, and enjoying more than a decade of prime coverage on
the BBC's Grandstand. From humble beginnings at a cold Snetterton,
the move to Brands Hatch, the peak of the 1980s followed by a
gentle decline, this book tells the story of the Festival. Drawing
on exclusive contributions from some of the event's legends and
prestigious alumni, it covers all the on-track action together with
off-track intrigue and controversies.
