Next month will see the 55th annual running of the ever popular Formula Ford Festival  as it makes its return to Brands Hatch’s famed Indy circuit for a special ‘Centenary Edition’ on 24/25 October.

2026 not only marks the legendary venue’s ‘Century of Power’, but also 50 years since the festival’s knockout format made its debut at Brands Hatch.

This special edition presents another opportunity for drivers to join an illustrious list of winners that includes Jenson Button, Johnny Herbert, Mark Webber and more.

Saturday’s heats will test the mettle of the grid, with drivers aiming to progress to the next round before Sunday afternoon’s famous Grand Final.

On Saturday, a DJ will provide entertainment in the Kentagon between 7pm and 10pm, allowing visitors to take in the late-evening atmosphere.

There’ll be door-to-door battles too, with support action provided by the Caterham Graduates and the BMW SuperCup Championship.
