Team BRM is pleased to announce that it will return to the Australian Formula Ford Championship next weekend at Mallala Raceway, with young Queensland drivers John and Kain Magro behind the wheel.
Fresh from having sealed their third Kumho Tyres Australian Formula 3 Championship – and first ever Australian Drivers Championship - with driver Ben
Clucas last weekend, the team will return to the Australian Formula
Ford Championship for the second time this season after making their
debut at this year’s Clipsal 500.
Driver Ben Clucas scored a podium in the team’s first ever National
Formula Ford start, a remarkable achievement following a short buildup
to the event.
Despite sitting aside for the rounds since, the team is ready for its
return to competition this weekend with its pair of Van Diemen RFO6
entries following a number of test days at their home circuit as well
as a number of race meetings in the local Formula Ford state series.
The Queensland-based Magro brothers currently sit 2nd (John) and 4th
(Kain) in the South Australian Championship after three rounds this
year, despite it being just their second year of circuit racing
following success in Speedway-style racing in their local region.
Team BRM Formula Ford Manager Mark Rundle said that the team had no
expectations heading into the round, the sixth of eight Formula Ford
National rounds this year.
“We’re pleased to be able to return to the Australian Formula Ford
Championship for our ‘other’ home round, at Mallala,” said Rundle.
“We have done some miles there this season in testing and have
developed a lot of setup information and data from the circuit which
should help John and Kain come to grips with the National competition
as quickly as possible.
“We don’t have too many expectations for the weekend – it will really
just be a case of our drivers gaining experience at the top level in
what is going to be a very competitive field. We’re looking forward to
working with the brothers again and hopefully we have a trouble free
weekend.” He said.
Round six of the Australian Formula Ford Championship will be held at Mallala Raceway next weekend, September 15 – 17.
