Students in Aquila's

Formula Ford has long been a class where young drivers make the leap from karting into the more serious racing. It's a class running without much aerodynamics that teaches young drivers how a car behaves without the aid of down force being created from huge wings.

This season in Denmark it is now possible to debut in Formula Ford at an even younger age than previously. In 2011, it was only from the day when you turned 15 years old that you could be eligible to compete in the Danish Formula Ford series. But the Danish Automobile Sports Union (DASU) has changed this, by allowing you to start the racing in the calendar year you turn 15 years old. This means that everyone who is born in 1997 or earlier can participate in this year's Danish Formula Ford Championship.

Last season Auto Tech Racing, a student racing team from Aarhus Tech in Denmark competed as debutants in the Danish Formula Ford championship, finishing 2^nd and 4th in the Zetec class with two Aquila FZ1's. Auto Tech Racing is preparing for the upcoming season in the Danish Formula Ford series and invites sponsors and drivers interested to an open house at Aarhus Tech in Aarhus, Denmark. There will be opportunity to see the facilities, the cars and meet the students and teachers. Aarhus Tech has just invested in new premises with a dyno facility, engine bench and a large workshop with the latest tools and diagnostic equipment.

Auto Tech Racing pupils are taught in data logging, engine management, troubleshooting, management and optimization of cars to be Automotive Technologists with the opportunity to work as race engineers, trouble-shooters and workshop supervisors.

The event will be held on Tuesday 21st of February Auto Tech Racing's premises in Denmark, There will be a light meal with soft drinks, beer, coffee and tea.
