History
editBefore 2012, the competition was known as Ontario Formula Ford Championship.[2]
In 2014, F1600 Super Series (a.k.a. Eastern Canadian Super Series) was introduced which united racers from Ontario-based Toyo Tires F1600 Championship and Quebec-based Toyo Tires Formula Tour in a new competition.[1][3]
F1600 Championship Series is viewed as an entry level formula car competition for the aspiring young racers.[1] Among the past F1600 Championship Series participants are Dalton Kellett, Parker Thompson, Zacharie Robichon and Mac Clark.
