Formula Ford – The Most Successful Junior Formula Ever

<!-- @page { margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } -->

Formula Ford is a single seater racing car formula that started in 1967 using a sixteen hundred cc Cortina engine in the back of a space frame, open wheel chassis with a fibreglass body. The first Formula Ford car ever was based on a Lotus Formula Junior. By this time the more sophisticated formulae were using alloy monocoques which were expensive, fragile in the event of an accident and often unrepairable at least economically.

The steel space frame of a Formula Ford was still light, but very strong, relatively cheap to manufacture and it could be cut, welded, even straightened in the event of a 'shunt'. The heyday of Formula Ford was actually a rather long period, primarily all of the nineteen seventies and eighties, although it remained very healthy in the nineties and continues today. There were spin offs, many of them, too many really which diluted Formula Ford itself for a while, Formula Ford 2000, Sports 2000, Formula First and Formula Forward, but none enjoyed the success, or attracted as much affection from race goers and drivers as the original Formula Ford sixteen hundred formula.

Thousands of drivers around the world cut their racing teeth in Formula Fords in the decades mentioned, when the engine in use was the Ford Kent engine, not so easy to get hold of now, but as common as muck then. Early Formula Fords generally had front mounted radiators and outboard suspension, but because of the popularity of the formula and the relative simplicity of construction the number of racing car constructors ballooned. Joining Lotus were Merlyn, Royale, Van Diemen, Reynard, Swift, Elden, Hawke, Lola, Ray, Titan, Tiga and more. Some just made Formula Fords, whilst others like Lola were involved in numerous formulae right up to and including World Championship Sportscars, Indy cars, Formula 5000 and Formula 1.

Motorsport has always been intensely competitive and so, with all these manufacturers competing to sell their chassis the development was rapid and mirrored developments in more senior formulas. As an illustration look at the Formula 1 cars of nineteen eighty three, such as the John Player Special Lotus where the driver appears to be well forward in the car and then look at the Van Diemen RF84. All Van Diemens' model numbers reflected the year of the particular model.

Soon there were side mounted radiators, inboard suspension, bodywork that smoothed the airflow around the engine and gearbox, but some things remained the same. Everyone raced with the Kent engine in those decades and although the Zetec engine and latterly the Duratec have taken over the formula is a shadow of its former self. It was so successful in the seventies and eighties for a number of reasons, firstly it was affordable, secondly it was exciting, this was due to narrow control tyres and a lack of aerodynamic devices, the cars could and did run close together, slipstream and slide. The variety of manufacturers added to spectator interest and you really could see new stars in the making.

In 1972 the inaugural, end of season Formula Ford Festival was held at Snetterton in Norfolk, it would move to Brands Hatch from 1975 and it evolved into a World Cup event for Formula Ford drivers around the world. It still runs today and even in the nineteen nineties was attracting hundreds of entries from around the globe, with supporting races for other Ford formulae and historic Formula Fords.

Winners of the festival include Johnny Herbert, Eddie Irvine and more recently Mark Webber, although some fourteen winners have gone on to reach Formula 1 and many who came close to winning the Festival such as David Coulthard went on to the pinnacle of the sport. It's possible that the Ford Motor Company took theirposition as the number one in grass roots motorsport for granted, or perhaps they thought their position unassailable, but other companies wanted in on the action, prompting Formula Renault, Formula Vauxhall Lotus (Opel in other markets), Formula Palmer Audi and others.

In 1981, when Formula Ford was at its height the young Ayrton Da Silva, who later changed his name to Senna moved to England and won both the major British Formula Ford championships in that year. Unfortunately he returned to Brazil for family reasons prior to the Formula Ford Festival. Formula Ford has been pivotal in the development of modern motorsport and has brought enjoyment to millions. To share the experiences of one privateer Formula Ford driver read the book 'Of Land, Sea And Sky'. www.oflasndseaandsky.com

Carl Karcher Was a True Entrepreneur

What Did It Take To Become an Entrepreneur?

With all the online hype as of late about ways to make a million bucks in a matter of hours with a few clicks with the mouse, now and again its helpful to go back and look at genuine entrepreneurs. Carl Karcher is a superb illustration of what it really took to become an entrepreneur as well as sacrifices he had to make to get there.

The reality is, that there are no magic bullets to become successful, out side of some fortunate folks who stumbled into something, won the lottery, or were in the right pace at the right time, success takes work, it always has and it almost certainly always will.

Look at Carl Karcher as an ideal illustration. He was a person who was an 8th grade drop out and at twenty was working at his uncles feed store. Not a very glamorous beginning to anyone's career. But Carl had the two things that each entrepreneur needs to be successful. He had consistent drive and persistence.

Today we identify that as, willingness to take massive action.

What Got Carl From The Feed Store To Being an Entrepreneur?

Besides this remarkable drive that he had, Carl Karcher observed a successful hot dog stand industry which was right under his nose and had a sense that together with his dedication toward success that he could build a fast food business around this idea. Unlike today's puffed up stories of what it took to be successful. He actually borrowed money against his vehicle to get his first hot dog stand, this was a bold move and not one which most people would take. You have to be a committed entrepreneur to possess the confidence in yourself and the drive to do this.

Over time, Carl built his one stand into several. He did this through hard work and dedication and a commitment to putting together a successful business. It was clear even then that he knew that failure was not an choice. You see, he was unwilling to leap from one thing to the next when he had a bad day in his hot dog business. He understand that pure dedication and reliable hard work would pay off. This allowed him to have vision well past what he dealt with when he got up for work that morning. And by the way those mornings resulted in long days.

An Entrepreneur Like Carl Karcher Knows That Results Come From Hard Work!

Yes, Carl Karcher's hard work paid off. He ultimately opened a full service restaurant which helped him launch his popular chain "Carl's Junior".  Some people would see the chain of fast food restaurants and imagine to themselves, boy I wish I had something like that. But the question would have been what would they be willing to give up to get it. Would they be ready to sacrifice their nights and weekends like Carl needed to, making sure that he could keep his company going. Would they be ready to risk losing their vehicle and for that matter everything to fund a small start up company that would keep them on their feet for ten hours a day in the cold and the heat selling hot dogs to whomever came by to pay him for his product.

Would most people be willing to look past a number of bad and irritating events, events that might have you thinking, why did I get started in this? When you ask yourself about these kind of things and you think that profoundly about it, you might be able to determine if you are a potential entrepreneur or not.

One other thing you had to respect about Carl Karcher and this is a key to being a successful entrepreneur. He didn't spend his time complaining about what went wrong, he fixed it. He didn't squander precious time of his life searching for another person to blame for his situation when things weren't going great, he took responsibility, and focused on how to make his company successful, he didn't wallow on his challenges.

If you wish to learn how to be an entrepreneur, don't pay attention to the click and grow rich crowd, check out Carl Karcher. Because it doesn't matter what company you go in to. You will not be a successful entrepreneur unless you've got his drive, focus and determination.
