"Revving Up Dreams: Formula Vee's Affordable Racing Pathway"

Formula Vee serves as a stepping stone for young drivers aiming to move up the racing ladder and a budget friendly choice for experienced racers. The grids feature a mix of young Karting graduates and seasoned drivers seeking affordability and competitiveness.

"Dreaming in the Fast Lane: From Karting to Formula Vee at 14!"

You’ve admired racing legends like Lowndes, Webber, Brock, Hamilton, and Alonso on TV
forever. Whether studying F1, V8s, or racing techniques, you’ve dreamt of surpassing them.
Perhaps youve karted since age 8, and at 14, it’s time to step into Formula Vee!

"Photo Finish: The Thrilling Race to the Chequered Flag!"

“It’s not uncommon for half a dozen or more cars to take the chequered flag within a second…”

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.

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. 🏁🏎️🥳🎉🏆 ... See MoreSee Less

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.

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 👍👍
