Mike Lawrence Australia has decided to demote FF1600 and install Formula 4 as its national starter series. Formula 4 gives each country the choice of approved chassis and engines, each one limited to 150 bhp, but everyone runs the same kit within the national series. One-spec formulae, I hate ’em....
