Is there a US distributor/importer for Mygale FF ? (new and/or used)
Is there a US distributor/importer for Mygale FF ? (new and/or used)
No distributor right now, but I see that they do have a booth at PRI next month, mabye something is forthcoming.
I would think that if they (from France) spend the time and money to exhibit at PRI, they have a strong desire/plan to enter the US market.
IMHO Now that FF in the US has perhaps escaped the "dead man walking" status, thanks in large part to Honda/HDP and the Pro1600 series, we'll see some more interest by builders.
Decoster has maybe a dozen cars coming out of rental that can not be converted to Europe 2012 spec. They can be converted to Fit. They pretty much dominated Europe/Austrailia in 2011.
PR1 ?? whats that a racecar show
It is a race product show in orlando Fla.

[FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]I am in regular contact with Mygale. I suggested they give me a note to update their plans for the PRI show and North American market. That is posted below. Please note that I am not an agent or distributor. [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]Mygale is the Formula Ford leader in Europe, Australia and South Africa where Formula Ford never stopped using the new Duratec Ford engine (modern aluminium similiar to the Honda technology). [/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]The recent growth of Formula Ford in USA is definitively an opportunity for Mygale. We produced one car for Baytos which qualified on pole at its first race.[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]I came to visit US and Canadian championship events organizers and HPD. [/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]I personally believe that the series will grow especially with HPD support. It will take some years[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]We are conscious that we need to put a proper organisation in place to support our customers. W[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]e have decided to find a US distributor who will represent Mygale for FF1600 but potentially for other future development as FF2000. We are in contact with some persons but it is a long and slow process.[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]We have decided to show our interest for the market by having a booth at the PRI show where we will display the Steve Bamford car with his support as provided by Greg Rice (Rice Race Prep). I will attend all 3 days and expect to meet all the community. I hope that I will be able to announce progress with distribution.[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]In the mean time, we are having discussions with some potential customers. [/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]In France, we are assembling a complete racing car to validate all aspects of the car for the US market following feedback from Steve’s car.[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]Thanks for your support[/FONT][/FONT]
