Capturing six wins from six rounds was certainly a sensational way for Ryan Simpson to take out the 2008 NSW Formula Ford 1600 Championship in his rookie year in Formula Ford, winning the sixth and final round over the weekend at Eastern Creek Raceway. So dominant was the 21-year-old Anglo Australian Motorsport team driver that Simpson managed to not only win all six rounds but also take out 16 of the 18 race wins. In the two races that he didn't win they were captured by his nearest rival in the NSW Formula Ford 1600 Championship all year long, and fellow Anglo Australian Motorsport team driver, Tom Tweedie .....

when the rookie Formula Ford driver managed to clinch the NSW Championship
crown by taking yet another clean sweep during the sixth and final round
at Eastern Creek Raceway.

The final round of the NSW Championship saw Simpson need to finish the opening race in the Top 5 in order to clinch the NSW Championship, and he did that quite comfortably after he qualified on pole position to start off the weekend and he then ran away with all three race wins. Simpson would like to say a special thanks to Parramatta Smash Repairs and Anglo Australian Motorsport for all their ongoing support in 2008. ..........Read Full Release |

Teenager Nathan Morcom has continued his impressive debut year in Formula Ford by registering his first race win in the category last weekend at the fifth and penultimate round of the Victorian Formula Ford 1600 Championship at Winton Motor Raceway. Morcom's first race win came during the opening race when he started from the front row after qualifying in second, and the 16-year-old Anglo Australian Motorsport driver caught and passed pole sitter and V8 Supercar driver Taz Douglas, who has over three years of Formula Ford experience at both a State and national level, during the middle stages of the six lap race and went on to score a solid victory aboard his #71 Rondo Building Services backed Comtec Spirit WL08. ......

The cream of the
NSW Formula Ford 1600 Championship rose to the top yet again in Ryan
Simpson and Tom Tweedie last weekend at Wakefield Park Raceway during the
fifth and penultimate round of the championship. It was Simpson that qualified on pole position, and it was a spin during the opening race that cost him yet another win and he eventually finished back in third, but he managed to bounce back to winning form by taking our both race two and three and extending his lead in the championship points standings in the process. Simpson's pace around the 2.2km Wakefield Park circuit was clearly evident over the course of the weekend as he came very close to eclipsing the existing Formula Ford 1600 lap record that was set by now V8 Supercar star Jamie Whincup back in 2002 .........

The results of the

fifth and penultimate round of the NSW Formula Ford 1600 Championship at
Wakefield Park Raceway certainly didn't reflect the pace they had shown
over the course of the weekend. Both Lucas and Harrison showed that they had the pace to be Top 5 runners at the weekend but unfortunately it wasn't to be. In fact, during the third and final race Lucas, driving the #14 Vodafone Mobile Advertising backed Spectrum 06B, was up to third place during the middle stages of the race only to be spun out due to contact from a driver behind him. Despite regathering and returning to the circuit, Lucas had his hopes of a podium finish dashed and eventually finished in sixth. Race one resulted in Lucas working his way up to seventh place after qualifying down in ninth due to understeer problems, and during race two he spun out on his own while he sat inside the Top 5 but worked his way back to finish sixth ..........

Both race two and three didn't turn out the best, as during the second race Tweedie and Leigh Burgess came together that saw Tweedie spin and become airborne and that caused suspension and brakes damage, but he still finished the race, although back in ninth.

Simpson's closest rival so far this year, Tweedie, once again proved Simpson's only real concern around the 2.62km Oran Park circuit, but it still wasn't enough to deny him of a clean sweep of the weekend's round proceeding.

As history has

round of the NSW Formula Ford 1600 Championship is fought out at Oran Park
Raceway, near Narellan NSW, this weekend (June 21-22). The 2.62km Oran Park Raceway circuit always throws up plenty of curves and it also has seen numerous drivers over the years break through for maiden race wins, as well as cause a few problems for some with the demanding layout, and this weekend should be no different. In recent years Oran Park has seen the likes of ex-Formula Ford drivers Greg Woodrow (retired) and Nick Lowe (Aussie Racing Cars) record their first victories in the NSW Championship.
