::my racing weblog:: from Japan to the World.

Today I want to teach you the category that I`m practicing.

It is"Formula Junior 1600   FJ1600".

FJ1600 is very similar to Formula Ford .

        


The engine is SUBARU 1600cc engine.
It has power only 120ps, but machine weight is only 450kg,
So It is very easy to drive ,but we can learn a lot of thing to drive a formulacar.
Transmission is normal H pattern 5 speed, made by SUBARU.
Tire is Dunlop onemake.
The most important and significant things in this category is prohibition of front and rear wings.
That means we have to drive a car without downforce.
It is very unstable,but in other words,"we can easily learn how to drive a car delicate and how to make a car posture " more than other formula race.

       

Race competition revel is also high.
There is nearly 30 entry in each race.
Almost circuit in Japan are holding FJ1600 race.
But All Japan Championship doesn't hold.
Each circuit are holding 5-8race in 1 season.
And when all championship are finished,The Japan No1 driver decision championship is held in SUZUKA circuit and Twinring MOTEGI ,in December every year.
The driver who show good performance
in this race is given a scholarship,to upper category "Formula 4".
#Formula 4 is the category under the Formula 3#
