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, can be bought for $10,000
or less, 1600 from $15,000. A year's budget can be less than $5000.
Check out the
Formula Vee Handbook 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.
