It is a chance for Australia’s young guns to show their talents on the big stage, with the eyes of the Formula 1 world watching.

Category Manager Margaret Hardy said; “The Australian Formula Ford Championship has been working hard to lock in a calendar for the 2012 season and we’re very pleased to be able to announce that the season will begin at the Australian Grand Prix in March.”

“Being on the program at the Australian Grand Prix is a huge thing for the championship and we’re delighted to be back to showcase the future starts of Australian motor sport in the country’s premier junior category".

All of the drivers in the field will be looking forward to what will be a fantastic addition to the Australian Formula Ford calendar and a great way to kick off season 2012.
