The NZ Formula Ford Championship winner will receive a fully funded opportunity from Rodin Cars, including an all-expenses-paid, three-day testing and evaluation program. Exceptional drivers will have the chance to further their development with Rodin Motorsport in the United Kingdom. This could lead to a position in a Formula 4 team competing in either the British or Spanish Championships.

MotorSport New Zealand’s President, Deborah Day, said: “We are incredibly proud to partner with Rodin Cars to offer this truly life-changing opportunity to our aspiring drivers. New Zealand has a remarkable history of producing world-class driving talent, and Formula Ford has played a crucial role in that for over 50 years. The list of New Zealand’s Formula Ford graduates who have excelled internationally is a testament to its success as a development formula.”  

Rodin Cars supports drivers like Liam Lawson and Louis Sharp, graduates of New Zealand’s Formula Ford, who have advanced through international motorsport. This initiative continues the legacy of nurturing diverse, emerging talent, contributing to a more inclusive and accessible future for global motorsport.
