The championship featured a mix of professional motor racing teams and privately funded drivers, competing in Formula Ford cars that conformed to the technical regulations for the championship. This, the 38th British Formula Ford season, was the second year of the single class format, with all drivers using the latest cars built to the Formula Ford EcoBoost specification. There was also an award for the highest placed Rookie. Part of the TOCA tour, it formed part of the extensive program of support categories built up around the BTCC centrepiece.http://www.btcc.net/html/generalnews_detail.php?id=3211 Formula Ford returns in 2013 British Touring Car Championship TOCA 12 October 2012 12 October 2012 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20130723101130/http://www.btcc.net/html/generalnews_detail.php?id=3211 23 July 2013 The season commenced on 30 March at Brands Hatch – on the circuit's Indy configuration – and concluded on 12 October at the same venue, utilising the Grand Prix circuit, after 30 races held at 10 meetings, all in support of the 2014 British Touring Car Championship season. The championship was won by South African driver Jayde Kruger of the JTR team, finishing six points clear of Falcon Motorsport's Harrison Scott. Kruger won the most races during the season with 13 (to Scott's 5), but Scott's greater consistency – 24 podiums from 30 races – compared to Kruger (17 podiums) allowed him to remain in contention entering the final round at Brands Hatch, as both drivers entered the weekend with 651 points apiece. Scott won the first race to take the championship lead, before the two drivers collided on the second lap of race two. Kruger went on to win the race, while Scott failed to finish. Falcon Motorsport protested the result, before a JTR counter-appeal allowed the race result to stand as it was. Thus, Kruger's eighth place finish in the final race was enough for the championship, despite Scott winning. Falcon Motorsport again contested the result,http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/116337 British Formula Ford title battle goes to MSA court after clash Scott Mitchell Autosport Haymarket Publications 13 October 2014 31 October 2014 with the case being heard at the court of appeal, for the Motor Sports Association.

Top Scholarship class runner Ashley Sutton, a five-time race winner for MBM Motorsport, was the victor in the battle; he finished six points clear of Radical Motorsport's Juan Rosso, who took his only win during the season at Thruxton. Rosso himself finished a point clear of Kruger's team-mate Max Marshall, who won a pair of races at Snetterton and Rockingham respectively. James Abbott, another Radical Motorsport driver, was also a two-time winner, and he finished sixth in the drivers' championship, taking wins at the opening Brands Hatch meeting and Croft. The only other winner, with two wins, was Sam Brabham for JTR, before his season was cut short due to budgetary issues; he had won two of the three races to be held at Thruxton. Sutton was a comfortable winner of the Scholarship class along with his third place overall finish, finishing almost 200 points clear of his next best class rival, Ricky Collard, Scott's team-mate at Falcon Motorsport. The Teams' Cup was won by JTR, despite Falcon Motorsport closing in at the final round; JTR were still able to finish clear by 33 points, while the Nations' Cup was won by South Africa, on the basis of Kruger's results. Championship changes To bring the championship into line with many other junior single seater championships, series organisers announced that the second race of each meeting would be held with a partially reversed grid.http://www.britishformulaford.co.uk/regulation-stability-and-cash-prize-fund-for-formula-ford-2014/ Regulation stability and cash prize fund for Formula Ford 2014 British Formula Ford 12 November 2013 17 December 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20140306164823/http://www.britishformulaford.co.uk/regulation-stability-and-cash-prize-fund-for-formula-ford-2014/ 6 March 2014 dead dmy-all Teams and drivers Team No. Car number Drivers Chassis Chassis Manufacturer/Engine Ford EcoBoost engine preparation Class Rounds JTRhttp://www.britishformulaford.co.uk/champion-team-jtr-to-return-to-formula-ford-for-2014/ Champion team JTR to return to Formula Ford for 2014 British Formula Ford 10 February 2014 10 February 2014 https://archive.today/20140210131427/http://www.britishformulaford.co.uk/champion-team-jtr-to-return-to-formula-ford-for-2014/ 10 February 2014 dead dmy-all 1 AUS Sam Brabham Mygale M12-SJ/Mountune 1–4 2 ZAF Jayde Kruger All 18 GBR Max Marshall All 20 GBR Clay Mitchell S 8–10 Jamun Racinghttp://www.britishformulaford.co.uk/rosso-races-back-to-formula-ford-with-title-win-his-aim/ TEAM NEWS: Rosso races back to Formula Ford with title win his aim British Formula Ford 24 January 2014 24 January 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140201182436/http://www.britishformulaford.co.uk/rosso-races-back-to-formula-ford-with-title-win-his-aim/ 1 February 2014 dead dmy-all 4 GBR Jack Barlow Mygale M12-SJ/Scholar 1 16 GBR Ashley Sutton S 3–5 MBM Motorsport 4 GBR Jack Barlow Mygale M12-SJ/Scholar 10 16 GBR Ashley Sutton S 6–10 79 GBR Jessica Hawkins S 9 94 GBR Michael O'Brien S 6, 8–10 Falcon Motorsporthttp://www.britishformulaford.co.uk/successful-conclusion-to-falcon-driver-assessments Successful conclusion to Falcon driver assessments British Formula Ford 6 December 2013 17 December 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20131217232117/http://www.britishformulaford.co.uk/successful-conclusion-to-falcon-driver-assessments/ 17 December 2013 dead dmy-all 6 GBR Harrison Scott Mygale M13-SJ/Swindon All 11 GBR Ricky Collard Mygale M12-SJ/Swindon S All 23 GBR Chris Mealin S All Meridian Motorsporthttp://www.britishformulaford.co.uk/meridian-confirms-three-car-formula-ford-team-for-coming-season// Meridian confirms three-car Formula Ford team for coming season British Formula Ford 9 January 2014 9 January 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140109232900/http://www.britishformulaford.co.uk/meridian-confirms-three-car-formula-ford-team-for-coming-season/ 9 January 2014 dead 16 GBR Ashley Sutton Mygale M12-SJ/Scholar S 1 35 GBR Connor Jupp S 4–5 75 GBR Bobby Thompson S G 2–3 82 GBR Connor Mills S 1–5 SWB 17 GBR James Webb Sinter LA12/Scholar S 1–2 88 AUS Greg Holloway All Richardson Racing 24 NGA Ovie Iroro Mygale M12-SJ/Scholar S 2–3, 9–10 25 GBR Louise Richardson S 5–10 72 G 1 71 GBR Ben Constanduros S G 1 76 GBR Andy Richardson 4 Radical Motorsport 26 ARG Juan Rosso Mygale M13-SJ/Mountune All 74 GBR James Abbott All Icon Class G Guest S Scholarship Race calendar and results The provisional calendar was announced on 14 September 2013, with no major changes from 2013.http://www.btcc.net/html/generalnews_detail.php?id=3546&month=0&year=2013&form=&searchterm= 2014 BTCC calendar announced British Touring Car Championship TOCA 14 September 2013 23 September 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20130928014824/http://www.btcc.net/html/generalnews_detail.php?id=3546&month=0&year=2013&form=&searchterm= 28 September 2013 dead dmy-all All races were held in the United Kingdom.
