Our company MD Ed Moore has amazingly won 50 Formula Ford races following his latest triumph at Castle Combe circuit on June 23rd. This is a major achievement and during this time Ed has beaten scores of very fast drivers.  Full news story to follow.

Weller Wheels and Motorsport Events have formed a new partnership to handle sales of the ultra successful Weller Formula Ford wheels.

Motorsport Events are delighted that Weller Wheels now backed by the Purdie Group have chosen them to be their sole distributor for Weller circuit racing wheels and will be looking at new areas for the Weller brand to move into.

Weller Wheels was established in 1967 and the founder Les Weller is still in charge of wheel development. We are proud of the fact that dozens of Grand Prix drivers have used Weller Wheels including Damon Hill, Michael Schumacher, Eddie Irvine, David Coulthard, Mika Hakkinen, Mika Salo, Allan McNish as well as thousands of club drivers throughout the world.

You can always rely on the quality and durability of Weller Wheels and with the backing of the Purdie Group the future success of this successful brand is assured.

New for 2007 is a state of the art, lighter Formula Ford 1600 wheel.

* Weller high strength, quality & value for money
* New patented manufacturing technique
* New high strength lightweight steel
* 0.7kg lighter per wheel
* Less rotating mass = improved acceleration & braking
* Less unsprung mass = more mechanical grip

These concepts have been proven with the success of our own team cars over the last few years which have resulted in countless wins and championship successes. Formula One teams spend millions of pounds on weight reduction and they have 800+ bhp, a Formula Ford 1600 only has 108 bhp, so the benefits are even greater.

Motorsport Events are pleased to announce that they will be holding stocks of all popular wheels for the Formula Ford 1600 class. The new lightweight wheel is £52 per wheel plus VAT or for 2 or more wheels is £50 plus VAT per wheel.

Available for Crossle, Ray, Reynard, Royale, Spectrum, Spirit, Swift, Van Diemen and others in white or black
