AFF1600NATS Update: 4/9/24
The two month countdown is on for the 2024 Australian Formula Ford 1600 Nationals. The event has been well received indicating a 25-plus car grid, with competitors traveling from WA, VIC and NSW to join a strong local contingent.
With entries due to open in September, further details have been confirmed.
Kent-only grid for the entire Event, including practice:
With sufficient interest received, a dedicated Kent-only grid has been secured. For clarity and superseding early information, any Duratec competitors will instead join the separate Sports & Racing Cars grid.
Optional Wednesday Practice:
Following interstate competitor requests, Testing on the Wednesday is available. $100 for the full day, with at least six 15 minute sessions through the day.

Otherwise, Testing is prohibited at the venue on the Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday prior to the Event.
