just wondering. around the time i finish my phd, i'd like to get my race liscence and run a form-v car. competitive cars look to be in the $8-12k range, and it would seem that running costs are relatively low. in other words, a logical place to spend a couple years honing skills before moving onto bigger and badder things.
just looking for any experience, running costs, anecdotes, advice, etc. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) n |

The most powerful legal F Vee engines built make no more than 63hp peak.
Like Erik said, the highest injury rate of any SCCA class. Beam front axle, swing axle rear, narrow tires, the slightest mistake takes at least a full lap to recover from. Spec Racer Ford or Formula Ford would be a much better place to start IMO, but racing a 914 is really the only way to go. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) |
