A pair of pre-1982 Formula Ford 1600 races run alongside but outside the Festival contested the new John Webb cup at Brands Hatch last weekend, honouring the memory of the late circuit boss and ‘creator’ of Formula Ford, in the 50th year since the event moved from Snetterton to Kent.
Saturday’s outing featured a race-long duel between ‘racing reverend’ James Rigby in his suitably liveried Jesus Saves Van Diemen RF79 and Cameron Jackson’s Winkelmann. Jackson took the lead on lap five of 18 but Rigby never allowed him to escape, setting fastest lap. Six different marques occupied the top-six places.
