Burladingen (Germany), Achel (Belgium), 3 November 2020 – As of the 2021 season the classic Formula Opel and Formula Ford racing series in Germany, the Benelux and France, as organized by Sportservice Richter, will come under new management. Frank Richter and his wife Karin have decided to hand over the series to Wilco Ibes from VIT Race & Tyre Services NV, already involved as a service supplier to both championships.
“After 11 years of organising the FFR and FOR racing series it is time for us to say goodbye,” says Frank Richter. “We would have loved to tell our participants at the championship celebration that we had planned at Hockenheim, but unfortunately we had to cancel that event due to Covid-19. However, we are very anxious that the racing series continue. We think we have found a great successor in Wilco Ibes from VIT RTS, who is already well known and trusted by the teams for the technical support of the FFR and FOR series. We wish Wilco all the best for the future.”
“I am very proud of the confidence Sportservice Richter have placed in me to make the FFR and FOR series an ongoing success for the participants,” adds Wilco Ibes. “Frank Richter and his wife Karin have been instrumental in building the series over the past years. We are now very busy working with Frank to make the transition as smooth as possible. The 2021 season has already been planned and drivers will receive their calendars soon.”
