Australian Formula 1 (AF1) was a motor sport category for open-wheeler racing cars which was current in Australia from 1970 to 1983. AF1 was introduced by the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport in 1970, initially restricting cars to unsupercharged engines of no greater than 2.5-litre capacity, running on commercial fuel. AF1 was essentially a new name for the Australian National Formula which had been Australia’s premier racing category from 1964 to 1969.

  • Australian Formula 1 (AF1) was a motor sport category for open-wheeler racing cars which was current in Australia from 1970 to 1983. AF1 was introduced by the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport in 1970, initially restricting cars to unsupercharged engines of no greater than 2.5-litre capacity, running on commercial fuel. AF1 was essentially a new name for the Australian National Formula which had been Australia’s premier racing category from 1964 to 1969. Effective 23 February 1971, AF1 was changed to a two-part formula catering for racing cars fitted with 5.0-litre production based pushrod V8 engines (internationally known as Formula 5000 cars) and those fitted with less restricted unsupercharged engines of eight cylinders or less and up to 2000 cc in capacity. The smaller engine option was discontinued after 1976. The main engines used were Chevrolet and Repco-Holden V8's, though occasionally a Ford V8 was seen in action without success. In March 1979, Formula Pacific cars (using 1.6-litre production-based four-cylinder engines) became eligible for Australian Formula 1 alongside the existing 5.0-litre cars and 1980 saw the addition of 3.0-litre FIA Formula One cars to the mix. For 1982, Australian Formula 1 was restricted to Formula Pacific cars only. In 1983 CAMS adopted Formula Mondial as the new Australian Formula 1 but allowed cars complying with Formula Pacific to compete alongside the new cars for that year. (Formula Mondial was an FIA approved international formula very similar to Formula Pacific but with cars restricted to using the 1.6-litre Ford Cosworth BDA four-cylinder engine.) For 1984 CAMS changed the category name from “Australian Formula 1” to “Formula Mondial”. The Australian Drivers' Championship (for the CAMS Gold Star award) was open to drivers of AF1 cars throughout the life of the formula, i.e. from 1970 to 1983. During those years the term Australian Formula 1 Championship was often used in lieu of Australian Drivers Championship however the latter is used by the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport in its official records of the championship. The Australian Grand Prix was contested by AF1 cars during the years 1970 to 1983 inclusive, although the 1970 event also permitted Formula 5000 cars and the 1981 race was restricted to cars complying with the Formula Pacific section of AF1.

  • La Formula 1 australiana (in inglese Australian Formula 1), in breve AF1, fu una serie motoristica per vetture a ruote scoperte che si corse in Australia tra il 1970 e il 1983. L'AF1 fu creata dalla , che, inizialmente, la riservò a vetture con motore non sovralimentato, utilizzante carburante commerciale, con cilindrata non superiore a 2.500 cc,. L'AF1, di fatto, fu l'erede dell'Australian National Formula che era stata la più importante categoria motoristica del paese e che era sorta nel 1964 Il 23 febbraio 1971 il regolamento dell'AF1 fu modificato aprendo la categoria a vetture con motore di cilindrata da 5.000 cc V8 (in pratica le vetture di Formula 5000) e quelle motorizzate con motori non sovralimentati da 8 cilindri o meno, con più di 2000 cm³. L'opzione con motori meno potenti venne non più permessa dopo il 1976.. Nel marzo 1979 divennero utilizzabili le vetture di Formula Pacific (con motori da 1.600 cm³ con 4 cilindri, derivati dalla produzione) accanto alle vetture di F5000 e nel 1980 vennero introdotte anche le vetture di Formula 1 con motori da 3.000 cm³. Per il 1982 la categoria venne ristretta alle sole vetture di Formula Pacific. Nel 1983 la CAMS adottò vetture di Formula Mondial ma permise comunque l'utilizzo di quelle della Formula Pacific. (Formula Mondial erano delle vetture approvate secondo standard dalla FIA molto simili a quelle della Formula Pacific ma utilizzanti solo motori da 1.600 cm³ del tipo Ford Cosworth BDA con 4 cilindri.). L'anno seguente la CAMS cambiò il nome della categoria da “Australian Formula 1” a “Formula Mondial”. Il Australian Drivers' Championship (per il CAMS Gold Star award) fu aperto a piloti dell'AF1 per l'intera vita della categoria. Durante questo periodo il nome Australian F1 fu spesso usato come sinonimo di Australian Drivers Championship tuttavia il secondo è quello ufficialmente riconosciuto dalla Confederation of Australian Motor Sport. Tra il 1970 e il 1983 il Gran Premio d'Australia fu riservato a vetture dell'AF1. L'edizione del 1970 fu aperta anche a vetture di F5000 così come quella del 1981 fu limitata alle sole vetture di Formula Pacific. (it)
