MRF Formula 1600

One of the biggest tire manufacturers in the country, MRF, have unveiled a new single seat formula racing car called MRF Formula 1600. A 1600cc Ford Duratec engine, capable of producing more than 150 bhp, powers the cars. This makes it the most powerful single seat racers in the country overtaking the Formula Rolon cars, which make a little more than 100 bhp.

The series will be called the ‘Spec Formula’, while Ford India has also agreed to co-sponsor the series. The cars are manufactured by Elan Motorsports Technologies, UK. Ford will supply the engines here in India and they will be prepped in the country itself.

Good news for Indian Motor Sports, with new and more powerful cars coming. Now if we can only have more than just two tracks in the country.
