Want to go racing or get involved with racing cars?
Why motor racing? There’s no denying the adrenalin rush, where else can you put your foot to the floor? You certainly can’t speed on the roads. Most people may regard racers as rev heads and hoons but in truth, to be successful most racers are ten times more responsible than the average road driver. It can be dangerous out there. A quote from the WASCC’s ‘Need for Speed’ brochure sums it up. “Motor racing offers excitement and satisfaction simply unavailable in other pastimes, a unique blend of technical challenge, mental ability and physical skills combined in the competitive package of car and driver”.
Surprisingly inexpensive! It costs a lot less than you might think. A good 1200, race ready car, can be bought for $10,000 or less, a 1600 from around $15,000. A year’s budget can be less than $5000. Check out the Formula Vee Handbook on the resources page and the Classifieds for available cars.
If you’ve never seen Vees race, get along to Barbagallo and watch the racing. Walk around the paddock, have a look at the cars, talk to the drivers. There’s nothing they like more than talking about their cars and the racing.

LIVE YOUR DREAMS
Named after its use of Volkswagen components, Formula Vee is recognised by the Australian motor sport governing body, CAMS, as the entry-level open-wheeler circuit competition. Strictly controlled car specifications place greater emphasis on driver skill rather than budget and mechanical aptitude. As a result, it is a learning class and a stepping-stone into higher levels of motor sport. Larry Perkins, John Bowe, Colin Bond, Cameron McConville, Jason Bargwanna and Paul Stokell all began their careers in Formula Vee.

Won my last race here at this meeting,Island Magic,it was called in this class,Formula Vees.
What an end to our big Australian adventure. Tassie two weeks ago and now Phillip island. Thanks so much to Dave & Sammie Caisley for bringing the truck across. Massive thanks to Anthony Lees and Dave for working on all our cars and fixing Franz, Paul and Rod’s major issues to allow them all to keep competing. Special shout out to Teneille who was indespensible our entire trip and helped out in every way possible. Thanks also to Dylan Moltoni for all of his help. Go Team WA! Bring on next years Nationals! 🏁🏎️🏆🎉🐧
Well done everyone! Fantastic effort to get down here! You all did so well! Safe travels home!!
Well done everyone!! 👏
Safe travels home guys. Was a pleasure to race with you all on the weekend.
Well done Franz Danny and all WA formula Vee team
You guys are building a bond which will last a lifetime. Fantastic. Shows you don't need to win to be winners.
Great racing with you all, great bunch, nationals on the radar now !!
Well done Franz. Great effort.
Thanks for coming across, and safe travels back to WA.
Well that’s a wrap on Island Magic 2023 for this year. A great weekend but an unfortunate end for Dave Caisley who DNF’d in the last race due to a bolt coming out of the rocker cover. A very respectable 14th place for Rod Lisson. 18th place for Paul Moltoni. 27th place for Danny Cerro. 33rd for Kathy Lisson. Franz Esterbauer is 1st in the 1200 category. Safe travels home to everyone. 🏁🏎️🥳🎉🏆
Well done guys! Unlucky Dave, would have been good to see the number 7 in the battle in the last race.
Thanks for coming, it was a pleasure racing and chatting with you guys, welcome here anytime. Safe travels home.👍
Well done everyone! 👏
A massive effort form all involved.👍 Well done
Well played WA!!
Well done all representing the state, shame for Dave as he was in for the fight in the final
Well done Franz
Bolt out of the tappets cover is painful. We (Jacer and Tim Brook) lost going back to back national series champions in 2015 from the same curse, eventually lunching the engine after around 8 laps at the final round at SMSP.
Race 2 results - Dave Caisley - 6th (1st for a lap & a half!), Rod Lisson - 16th, Danny Cerro - 28th, Paul Moltoni - 30th, Kathy Lisson - 32rd & Franz Esterbauer - 1st in the 1200’s!
Well done all.
Great drive by Dave especially to get the lead but got beaten up by the locals on the final lap, still shows we as a state are just as competitive 👍👍
Nicely done FVWA team
Day 2 of the 2023 Island Magic race weekend at Phillip Island. Race 2 will be at 11.20am (EST) and our final race at 3.05pm. Keep an eye out on Blend Line TV for live coverage.
