A great night celebrating the people, performances and partnerships behind the 2026 NSW Formula Ford Championship. 🏆

On Saturday 12 September, the Formula Ford community came together at the Buena Hotel, Mosman for the annual presentation evening. A fitting chance to recognise a huge season of close racing, hard work and commitment across the paddock.

We were proud to see our Anglo drivers recognised on the night:

🏆 Eli Patten - NSW State Champion Trophy
🏆 Eli Patten - John Smith Trophy
🏆 Oscar Evans - 3rd Place NSW Championship Trophy

Fellow competitors who also deserve a mention:

🏆 John Pereira - 2nd Place NSW Championship Trophy
🏆 Will Liston - NSW Historic Class Champion Trophy
🏆 Will Liston - Stewart McColl Trophy

Every trophy represents far more than what happens on a race weekend: countless workshop hours, preparation, learning, teamwork and the determination to keep improving.

A sincere thank you to Jeff Senior for delivering the presentation, to every competitor who helped make the championship what it was, and to the team at the Buena Vista Hotel for hosting a fantastic evening.

Congratulations again to Eli, John, Oscar and Will on a brilliant season. Bring on the next chapter. 🤝

Not every performance improvement comes out of a box. Sometimes it starts as a sheet of aluminium on the workbench. 👨‍🔧🧰

We’re currently fabricating a custom airbox for our 2-Seater.
The new engine runs a different inlet-manifold design to the previous unit. Instead of the older cylindrical throttle bodies, this setup uses rectangular throttle bodies so the old airbox was never going to be a simple bolt-on job.

The new airbox is being made specifically to suit the engine, the car and the available space. A cleaner path for the air into the throttle bodies means better airflow and, ultimately, better performance where it counts. 🏁

A lot of the parts on our race cars are made in-house for exactly this reason. It gives us the freedom to build what the car actually needs, rather than trying to make an off-the-shelf part fit.

Still a bit of finishing to do, but it’s coming together nicely.

Want to experience just what this car is capable of? Our 2-Seater Passenger Ride's are onl $249 and the minimum age to ride is 14. Click the link to book an experience of a lifetime!👇

Highlights from Sunday 23rd August 2026 - One of our biggest Stage 1 events yet at Sydney Motorsport Park. 🤯

The weather was spot on, the pit lane was busy from start to finish, and we had a huge mix of drivers, passengers, mates and family members through the garage all day.

A day this busy only works when everyone pulls together. From getting people signed on and suited up, to preparing the cars, running briefings and turning drivers around between sessions, the crew did a brilliant job of making sure every person still got the proper motorsport experience.

That’s what we’re proud of - not just putting people in a race car, but giving them a genuine look at what being around a race team feels like.

Thank you to everyone who joined us. 🙏 It was a cracking day at the track.

🏆 A special mention goes to our Top Gun recipients which is reserved for drivers who demonstrate natural car control, awareness, and confidence on track regardless of age or previous experience. It's not about lap times, aggression, or bravado. It's about how they drove the car:

Nathan. H
Blake. D
Finley. E
Jontae. N

A solid day of testing for Max and Braxton at the One Raceway Open Test Day. 🏁🏎️

For Braxton, it was a big first: his first time in a Formula Ford and his first time driving a manual. After a few goes at finding the bite point in the paddock, he settled in quickly and was on track driving like he’d been using a clutch for years. He listened, took on the feedback and put in some seriously quick laps by the end of the day.

Max kept building through the sessions too. By the afternoon, he was putting together consistent laps and making the most of every run. Max Gardellini

They were learning the Shelley Circuit layout as well, which runs anti-clockwise to the old Wakefield direction.

That’s what a proper test day is for: time in the car, working through feedback, reviewing the data and building confidence one session at a time.

If you’ve got a young driver ready to take the next step, or want to find out what a Formula Ford test day involves, send us a message. 👊

Picture Dad's face when he realises... he get's to drive a REAL race car thanks to you. 🫵

There is a BIG difference between watching motorsport, riding sh***un and actually driving a real race car.

Our 10 x Lap Racer experience puts Dad in a real single-seat Formula Ford at one of our two premier locations.

He is briefed by the team ✅
Fitted with full race gear ✅
Strapped into the car ✅
Sent out to experience the circuit for himself ✅

Ten laps is the sweet spot. It gives him enough track time to settle in, build confidence and feel what a proper open-wheel race car is all about.

The standard value is $499. For Father’s Day, use the discount code below and it is reduced to $449.10.

If Dad would prefer a shorter first taste or more track time, 5 x Lap and 20 x Lap Driving Experience Gift Cards are also available. The code still applies to eligible Gift Cards.

What's in the workshop? 🔧

Something a little different to the usual Formula Ford work in the workshop this week.

This is a customer’s Fraser. A New Zealand-built, Lotus Seven-style sports car from a company that has been handcrafting them in Auckland since 1988.

The idea behind a Fraser is pretty simple: low weight, basic mechanicals and nothing you don’t need. That’s why they have such a following. They are small, open, direct and built to make even a normal road speed feel like an occasion.

This one runs a Toyota 18RG 2.0-litre engine from the mid-’70s Toyota Celica which is paired with a manual gearbox.

It’s with us to tidy up a few oil leaks around the sump, replacing the gear-shift assembly, and to make some adjustments to the steering rack. Nothing glamorous, but the sort of work that keeps a car like this driving the way it should.

There’s plenty to like here: proper gauges, exposed suspension, a simple cockpit and no unnecessary fluff.

Would you take this over a modern sports car for a Sunday drive? Let us know below. 👇

Friday 7th August 2026 Event Highlights 📸

Another great day at Sydney Motorsport Park for our Stage 1 Experience. 🏁
Race suits on, helmets ready and a solid group of first-time Formula Ford drivers waiting for their turn behind the wheel.

That’s the best part of these days - everyone arrives a little unsure of what to expect, then leaves having driven a proper single-seat race car around one of Australia’s best circuits.

If you’ve ever thought about giving it a go, bring a mate, make a day of it and come see what it’s all about. 👇

This Father’s Day, skip the usual present and give Dad a story he will still be talking about long after the day is over.

At Anglo Racing Academy, he does not sit beside an instructor or climb into a simulator. He gets behind the wheel of a real single-seat Formula Ford and drives it himself.

Our Father’s Day hero is the 10 x Lap Racer Gift Card. It is normally valued at $499, save $50 with our discount code below.

A Gift Card makes it easy. ✅

You do not need to know Dad’s diary now. Buy the experience today, and he can choose a date and session time later. Gift Cards are valid for three years from purchase, and we run over 20 dates a year across our two locations, with four session times to choose from at each date.

If 10 x laps (our most popular) is not the right fit, there are also 5 x Lap and 20 x Lap Driving Experience Gift Cards available. But if you want the sweet spot for a proper first taste of single-seater racing, the 10 Lap Racer is the one.

📍 NSW Discount Code 👇

Use code: FDAY10NSW at checkout to save 10% on eligible Sydney Motorsport Park Driving Experience Gift Cards.
