2014 Australian Formula Ford Series
The 2014 Australian Formula Ford Series was an Australian motor racing series open to Formula Ford and Formula Ford 1600 cars.[1] It was the first national series for Formula Fords to be conducted in Australia following the withdrawal of national championship status from the Australian Formula Ford Championship by the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) at the end of 2013. The series was sanctioned by the CAMS[1] with the first five rounds each staged at a Shannons Nationals Motor Racing Championships meeting. The Formula Ford Association Inc was appointed as the Category Manager by CAMS for this series.[1]
The series was won by Thomas Randle, driving a Mygale.[2]
