This year’s Ontario Formula Ford Championship schedule consists of seven weekends, for a total of fourteen contests.
The points system has changed for this year - a competitor’s two worst finishes will be dropped from their total -
meaning a driver is collecting points in twelve of their best fourteen races.
The season kicks off in May at Mosport International Raceway during the BEMC Spring Trophy Races. The series returns to Mosport in June for a doubleheader event during the Vortex Brake Pads 200 Weekend. The next two rounds are part of the DAC Trillium Trophy Races at Shannonville Motorsport Park. In early August, competitors make their third of six visits to Mosport during the BARC Canadian Touring Trophy Races. This is followed by another BARC event called the Labour Day Grand Prix. The penultimate weekend of competition occurs in mid-September as part of the BEMC Indian Summer Races. The CASC-OR Celebration of Motorsport ends the season in Ontario and determines class champions. The single-seater, open-wheel race cars in the championship are powered by a four-cylinder, 1600-cc Ford engine or the newly introduced 1.5-liter HPD Honda L15A7. Both motors produce approximately 120-horsepower. A mixture of European and North American chassis is used by competitors. Minimum vehicle weight is determined by the suspension design and ranges from 1050 to 1125-lbs. Teams are required to use a spec tire – the Toyo Proxes 888. For 2011 the FFC class was rolled into FFB. There were two groups for this season.
The date of manufacture for the individual car and not the model is used to determine the year split and if a vehicle is categorized as FFA or FFB. The 2011 Ontario Formula Ford Championship’s opening rounds were held during the British Empire Motor Club’s Spring Trophy Races at Mosport International Raceway. Drivers would compete in two heat races around the ten-turn 2.459-mile road course.
