[vwbugsrule]

I do go karting at the moment and i have been wanting to get in to formula volkswagen.

[longhairedlayabout]

Great cars. I raced the MJM at Amaroo and Oran in the early 80's. What blast that was!!

[gixrider1]

Thats the weight on a Formula Vee car? Top speed and 0-60?

[adakar83]

minimum weight: 475Kg empty and 490Kg including driver.

top speed: approximately 200 kph (track type and gearbox ratio)

engine: VW 1200 or 1600 cm3 depends what are the series regulations in this or other country, approximatly 50 HP

@adakar83 are you sure "minimum weight: 475Kg empty and 490Kg including driver"??? I dont velieve you can get a driver that weights, 15kg (aprox 33lbs). Unless its a 5yo with an eating disorder, LOL

[adakar83]

@alexQw33

I made mistake. 475 is minmum weight WITH driver for 1200 cc and 495 kg for 1600 cc. My bad.

[alexQw33]

@adakar83 No worries mate.

BTW, this looks like a lot of fun... and probably is the cheapest way to get a feeling for that it would be like to run in Formula 3 without getting a second mortage on the house. I read on wikipedia that these cars can reach 190KPH (120MPH) that is incredible for a tiny 1600 air cooled engine. My moom used to have an old VW bug... the only way to reach 60 miles was on a steep down hill... aaaaahhhhh

[smallsc111]

@alexQw33 actually formula vee uses a vw 40 horse engine, which is i think is a 1200 or 1300 cc engine. the 1600 has 70-90 hp depending on the year. that being said the vw 40 horse is closer to 80 after changing it to a formula vee engine, that's why they last like 2 races

[Facewest]

Thank you for the video it is great

[FreestyleluiGi92]

i love little drift xD

[superallye]

[nullus66]

very nice

[gbfb82]

looks like there teaming up to draft together to catch that guy up front

i love these we meep meeps , just as good as the bigger classes

[MissPuddin]

He was pointing at the leaders. In racing when 2 cars are hooked up together they will be faster than 1 and have a better chance to get closer to the leaders. If they battle each other early they will only get further behind.

[Hoobee26]

Thanks. I was wondering what he was on about.

[Dazzle08]

On Lap two on the first straight What was he pointing at Sir?
