The Genuine Ford Parts Australian Formula Ford Championship is proud to announce a new incentive scheme to encourage competitors to attend both the Darwin and Townsville events this season.
The incentive package will be supported by Instrumental Music Australia (IMA), Australia’s largest independent music store, and will provide additional funding to Formula Ford competitors who do both events.
Formula Ford competitors will receive $1000 assistance over the two races as part of the scheme, which will be known as ‘IMA’s Top End Top Up’.
The ‘Top End Top Up’ increases IMA’s involvement within the series after supporting the Pole Position Award in 2009, something which it will continue in 2010.
“Formula Ford racing in Australia is something that is close to my heart, so for me to have to opportunity to support the series gives me great pleasure,” said IMA CEO Jon Mills
“The 2010 championship is heading to some fantastic locations, some of which are a long way away. Any amount of support these young drivers can get will help in getting them to all the rounds, which is what we want to see.”
