Formula Ford Australia has produced a volume titled 'Australian Formula Ford - 50 years of Fame and Friendship'.
A hardcover book of 290 pages with 570 excellent photos,
it covers the fifty years since Formula Ford began in Australia in 1969, and is an excellent
easily-readable history of one of the most long-lived, and arguably the most successful categories
in Australian Motorsport.
The number of Australian and international Motor Racing careers that began in an Australian Formula Ford is remarkable,
and they are celebrated in a volume of excellent photos, and stories from the people who were there.
The cars and their builders aren't left out, with local and imported makes covered in some detail.
Stories of the many people, who worked tirelessly as they managed the category over the years,
are there as well, and a list of champions and what they drove is included.
It's not a book that provides a race by race history, but important moments in the fifty years
are described in detail.
It's available from the Formula Ford Australia website for A$100 plus postage worldwide.
