AUTOSPORT gets Formula Ford race chance
AUTOSPORT's Ben Anderson is planning to chronicle his Formula Vee exploits this season, but an unexpected phone call means he'll be starting his year on a bigger stage...
Car repaired after my pre-season testing shunt at Snetterton, I expected to trudge up the M1 to Donington Park last Friday, for the first round of my Formula Vee title tilt.
Heavy snow put paid to that, so I stayed at home and twiddled my thumbs instead.
Then came an unexpected phone call from Ford Motorsport boss Mike Norton.
"What are you doing next weekend?" he asked me, with a tone of mystery in his voice.
"Going up to Oulton Park to cover British GT," I replied, eager to return to my lunch.
"Is there any way you could not do that and come to Brands Hatch instead?" he prodded.
"Possibly... Why, what do you have in mind?" I asked, now less concerned by food and intrigued to learn his proposal.
