I got this out of the local paper:
Quote:
A 2006-model Spectrum Formula Ford was on display at the Southern QLD Institute of TAFE during last weekend's round of the v8 supercar championship series at QLD Raceway.
The Car is the first Formula Ford to be fitted with the new 1.6-litre Ford Fiesta engine that will power the junior open-wheeler category's national championship from next year.
The new 1.6-litre Duratec engine is part of the category's most radical upgrade since its launch in the late 1960s. The Fiesta engine replaces the popular Kent engine, which powered road-going Ford Cortinas and Escorts about three decades ago.
Existing Kent racing engines will continue to be used in Formula Fords State-level Series.

Yes, its not that great.... but maybe they would be modding the engine as well?!
