Description:
This is a wings and slicks single seater designed for a single car class in the UK. Not to be
confused with a Formula Ford 2000 or Formula Continental, Formula 2000 featured a modern Ford OHC
engine. The car cannot be adapted to FF2000 or FC since the chassis is a semi-monocoque.
History
Formula 2000 was conceived to revive wings and slicks cars in the UK as a one make class featuring
cars similar to Vauxhall Juniors. The inaugural year featured a £40,000 prize to anyone capable of
winning all the series races from pole, which was actually achieved. After an auspicious start the series
faded from the spotlight last year.
