Notes
The Ford F1600 is a lightweight, open-wheel race car used in Formula Ford racing, known for its emphasis on driver skill over aerodynamic aids. It features a tubular spaceframe chassis, a 1.6-liter engine (originally the Ford Kent, with modern alternatives like the Honda L15A7), and a 4-speed manual transmission. The suspension consists of double wishbones with coil springs and shock absorbers, while the bodywork is made from lightweight composite materials. With no wings for downforce, the F1600 relies on mechanical grip, making it a popular choice for aspiring professional drivers.
