A 30-year wait for FF Festival revenge
Bernard Dolan's hopes winning at the prestigious Formula Ford Festival in 1989 were dashed by rain and an error in judgement from his team. Now, 30 years later, he has a shot at redemption as a team manager
This weekend, one of the best events on the national motorsport calendar takes place at Brands Hatch - even if, despite being highly anticipated, it isn't as big as its heyday.
From the 1970s to the 1990s, the Formula Ford Festival attracted future Formula 1 stars from the UK and abroad, sometimes with as many as 200 drivers battling it out from the heat stages. Past winners include Johnny Herbert, Mark Webber and Jenson Button.
