The Second F16 inaugural event has been held in Australia, these 2003 Australian NSW state Titles saw 7 competitors and the series over 5 races was won by Andrew Williams and Petra Eggl.

As an indication of the close racing the top four finisher are only 3 points apart (7,8, 10, 10) with a tie for 3rd spot. Only Adrew William and Petra Eggl were succesful at taking 2 first-ins.
