Lloyd, Mygale on top at Winton

Aus Formula Ford

Round 2, Winton

Mygale drivers took three race wins from three races in Round Two of the Australian Formula Ford Series, where a promising young talent in Jordan Lloyd stepped up to claim his maiden pole, race and round win driving his BF Racing prepared Mygale.

Following its rebirth as a National Series earlier in 2014, Formula Ford and spectators have enjoyed one of its toughest years of competition, with entry numbers well up on previous years and teams pushing harder than ever for silverware and bragging rights.

With a couple of years of national level experience under his belt, Lloyd was out for victory from the outset. Having claimed his maiden pole, Lloyd missed out on taking his first victory in Saturday’s Race 1, bested by the fast starting Thomas Randle in his Dream Motorsport Mygale. He more than made up for it on Sunday, charging to the head of the pack to win Races 2 and 3.

“I’m over the moon to get my first National Formula Ford Pole Position, Race win and Round win all at the one meeting, especially here at a Winton.” Jordan said.

“I knew I had the experience from Mallala to do even better this weekend, so to be able to put it together consistently is very satisfying for myself and BF Racing and gives us even more motivation to keep pushing harder at the next round in Queensland.”

“There are a large number of cars coming into each round with a chance of winning and the speed to do it, but I’ll keep focused too so it’s going to be one of the toughest years yet to win the National Series.”

Dream Motorsport driver Thomas Randle was in fine form under ominous conditions at Winton, claiming his maiden victory in national Formula Ford competition. Although the Victorian was quick, he couldn’t hold the likes of Lloyd at bay during Sunday’s races, settling for third overall.

The Team Sonic drivers were again strong, rounding out the top five overall with Nick Rowe ahead of Hamish Hardeman.

In his national debut, Cameron Walters impressed all en-route to a masterful Formula Ford 1600 class round victory. In the face of fierce competition, Walters was never headed, taking a clean sweep of victories ahead of the experienced James Garley and Jimmy Bailey.

Round 3 of the Australian National Formula Ford Series takes place at Queensland Raceway from August 8 – 10.
