Toyo Tires F1600 Championship Series is an open-wheel racing championship series based in Ontario, Canada. It features cars powered by 1.6L engines produced by both Ford and Honda. It is sanctioned by the CASC, Ontario region.
It has two distinct classes: the A Class for the newer chassis and the B Class, for cars manufactured in or before 1994.[1]
History
editBefore 2012, the competition was known as Ontario Formula Ford Championship.[2]
In 2014, F1600 Super Series (a.k.a. Eastern Canadian Super Series) was introduced which united racers from Ontario-based Toyo Tires F1600 Championship and Quebec-based Toyo Tires Formula Tour in a new competition.[1][3]
F1600 Championship Series is viewed as an entry level formula car competition for the aspiring young racers.[1] Among the past F1600 Championship Series participants are Dalton Kellett, Parker Thompson, Zacharie Robichon and Mac Clark.
