THE ESSENTIAL MOTOR RACING EXPERIENCE
Introducing Formula Vee Racing to MakoTrac
MakoTrac is proud to announce the arrival of Formula Vee single- seater open-wheeler racing in North Queensland.
Commencing in March 2008, MakoTrac will feature two single-seater
Formula Vee chassis, equipped with 1200cc and 1600cc VW boxer air-
cooled engines, driven by 4 gears and a manual clutch.
Formula Vee is one of the oldest, most successful and affordable open-
wheel racing categories throughout Australia and the world. Formula
Vee is a CAMS- supervised racing category. Both MakoTrac Formula Vee
chassis are modified and adapted to MakoTrac conditions (tyres and
rev limitation).
The 1200cc and 1600cc cars can achieve maximum speeds of 145km/h and
160km/h respectively.
Use of the new Formula Vee racing cars is limited to experienced and
qualified MakoTrac Star-graded drivers who have reached and completed
at least three sessions in a Silver Star go kart or progressed
successfully through one of the Formula Vee Packages (refer below).
A single session of 10 laps on the main track costs $150.00. A three-
session package is available for $400.00
