A QUICK OVERVIEW OF KENT Formula

Formula 1600 racing cars are designed to comply with a strict set of rules which are revised annually, to ensure costs are limited as far as possible so that driver skill is the major factor in achieving success.

2009 Formula 1600 Technical Regulations

THE CHASSIS Of tubular space frame construction, confine to maximum dimensions. Exotic materials are prohibited. Constructors aim to maximise torsional rigidity and minimise weight, while maintaining the highest levels of driver safety. See more about racing.
THE TYRES A grooved racing tyre is chose for optimum grip under all weather conditions. The type/brand and compound are specified, ensuring an economical wear rate.
THE ENGINE The normally aspirated Ford 1600cc "Kent", four cylinder engine, with crossflow head, is tuned to provide just over 100bhp. All components and measurements are specified and the Formula benefits from the world wide parts support provided by the Ford Motor Company.
THE SUSPENSION Full racing car suspension designs are required to ensure maximum tyre grip at various cornering speeds. Chassis balance is adjustable and controlled by damper, spring and roll-bar combinations.
THE GEARBOX Limited to 4 forward and 1 reverse gear. Ratios can be changed to suit various circuits and conditions.
THE BRAKES Four wheel disc brakes have independent front and rear activation. Front/rear bias is adjustable.
SAFETY FEATURES Include chassis requirements, roll over hoop, foot protection and material specifications. Drivers' harness and fire extinguishers etc. are as required by current CAMS regulations.
AERODYNAMIC DEVICES Are not allowed. Down force is limited to the combination of chassis design/set-up and tyre grip, together with the natural forces of gravity.
