The Formula Ford EuroCup, or European Formula Ford Championship, refers to two pan-European championships for Formula Ford competitors.
1969–2001
The original series was one of the earliest Formula Ford series, first run in 1969 and won by Gerry Birrell driving a Crossle. The series continued to run until 2001 as Formula Ford increasingly became a domestic oriented series with greater emphasis being placed on Formula 3 as a pan-European development Formula. The EFDA Formula Ford 1600 Euroseries was run, between 1979 and 1987 by the European Formula Drivers Association. and run alongside, for winged class, the EFDA Formula Ford 2000 Euroseries .
Champions
2011–2012
The concept was revived in 2011, as a series aimed at giving drivers experience at European race circuits. While individual events nominated a winner, there was no overarching points system or championship. Three national Formula Ford Championships were involved, the British Formula Ford Championship, the Benelux Formula Ford Championship and the Scandinavian Formula Ford Championship. The Formula Ford EuroCup ran for two seasons, and ended after the 2012 season.
2011 season
The 2011 Formula Ford EuroCup was the inaugural season of the Formula Ford EuroCup championship. The season began at Brands Hatch on 18 June and ended on 14 August at Circuit Park Zandvoort, after four meetings each consisting of three races.
Each round of the championship consisted of three races, with an overall EuroCup winner for each round announced.
