Formula Ford stars join Cunningham tribute

A host of Formula Ford greats have signed up for a "virtual" Formula Ford Festival in honor of Neil Cunningham.

More than 40 drivers, including David Brabham, Dave Coyne and Warren Hughes are confirmed for the event, which is taking place at The Race Hut in Slough, UK on Feb. 16.

A number of items have been donated for a charity auction – including a TW Steel David Coulthard edition watch and a magnum of Moet et Chandon champagne won by Tony Trimmer in a 1978 Aurora Formula 1 race – that will take place on the night.

All money raised will go toward Cunningham's battle with motor neurone disease, which the Australian was diagnosed with in 2010.
