Formula Jedi Championship The lightweight chassis, reliable motorcycle engine power, sequential gearboxes and slicks and wings provides serious performance but within controlled budgets.
In 2004, Formula Jedi introduced 1000cc motorcycle engines with a choice between Honda Fireblade, Yamaha R1 and Suzuki GSXR. No one make dominated so racing was electrifying! For 2007 the engine rules have been amended to a standard specification? and capped at 2005 model years to ensure even closer racing and lower costs.
Two classes exist; Class A derived from Formula Honda, uses CBR 600 engines (375kg all up weight including driver).
Class B utilises 1000cc units, giving around 160bhp (400kg including driver). Both classes give serious power to weight ratios.
The introduction of the 1000cc class has given the series a boost & placed it at the forefront of club motorsport. Jedi is one of the success stories of club motorsport with growing grid sizes and 10 new cars being built for customers this winter. Regulation stability and the fact that every Jedi is capable of being updated to the latest Mark6 specification ensure that car values are sustained.
Cars are available from the factory, fully built or in kit form. Older chassis can upgrade to current spec so a new car is no guarantee of front row performance. Running costs are low; approximately £7,500 for a full season which this year will be 16 races over 8 weekends at the major venues.
