I think it would be awesome for somebody to make a formula ford carset for
gpl. The F2 cars with the F3 engine seems quite similar (havent driven a ff
tho) to what you'd expect a FF to be. Is there one out, or one in the works,
or is it just not possible? I would've thought that there are enough modern
tracks to make a championship too. Any thoughts?

It's very very difficult to do very much with the GPL carset. Minor tweaks
are hard enough but new body shapes are pretty much out of the question.
That said, Bruce Johnson is working on a 50s F1 carset I think.

I've not driven a Formula Ford, but Maxx has done so many times, and I'm
fairly sure that he thinks the FD class in GPL (F1 chassis with F2 engine)
is as close as you'll get to them. The GPL F2 apparently feels like a
Formula Ford in the rain. By F2 I mean the GPL "Advanced Trainer".

And yeah, I'd love to see Formula Fords but I think it'll have to wait for
WSC, if it ever shows up :0)

Cheers
Jim
