Left page, top to bottom: Esterson’s pace all weekend left him rarely headed during the Festival; Max became the first American since Josef Newgarden to win a Formula Ford Festival; The 2022 edition once again lured former champions, such as 1991 winner Marc Goossens...; ...and 1980 winner Roberto Moreno who returned in a modern Ray chassis.

After the incredible spectacle and celebration of the 50th Formula Ford Festival at Brands Hatch in 2021 that generated an entry of almost 100 cars, former champions returning and one of the most thrilling Grand Finals in Festival history, the 2022 edition would have to go some way to match it, and there was plenty of reasons to suggest it would. Recent champions were back for another crack and there was a true international feel once again with plenty of young talent making the trip overseas to the UK to compete, from the USA, Canada, Norway, Brazil, New Zealand, Australia and mainland Europe.
