Britain\u2019s main Formula Ford 1600 championship, United FFord, will continue to have a multi-nation calendar for its fifth season in 2026.<\/p>\n
The MotorSport Vision Racing and James Beckett Motorsport-organised championship will have eight rounds, and most notably will swap its Welsh races at Anglesey for a trip to another part of the United Kingdom by heading to Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n
Pre-season testing will be at Donington Park (February 10), then the first races will be on Silverstone\u2019s National layout on April 4. The Jim Walsh Trophy will be awarded in one of those races.<\/p>\n
Oulton Park hosts round two (May 23), then the paddock heads to Mallory Park on June 6 for round three. That circuit hosted the British FFord championship 11 times, most recently in 1992 when a 19-year-old Jan Magnussen won.<\/p>\n
Undulating former World Rallycross Championship venue Lydden Hill keeps its slot on the calendar for a third successive year (June 27), and a month later is round five at Snetterton (July 25).<\/p>\n
The Champion of Brands schedule begins with United FFord\u2019s visit there on August 22, with the Peter Rogers Trophy being awarded in one of the races on the Indy layout. The CoB schedule also includes visits on September 13 (including the Bert Ray Memorial Trophy) and November 14 (featuring the Martin Down Trophy race).<\/p>\n
United FFord\u2019s season continues at Kirkistown, home of the Northern Irish FF1600 championship, on September 26 and the locally-organised event will include the Martin Donnelly Trophy race which often attracts racers from Britain. It is also a rarely visited circuit due to requiring an overseas trip, and there have only been 15 races there over seven events across the history of Britain\u2019s premier national championships (British FFord, BRSCC National FF1600 and now United FFord).<\/p>\n
Silverstone bookends the 2026 season on October 10, with the National layout once again being used.<\/p>\n
