Formula Vee has long been a proving ground in Australian motor racing and it continues as a highly contested and the most affordable racing category in motorsport today. Formula Vee is one of the longest running categories in Australia and now in its 57th year it continues to have over 40 competitors in NSW and some 250 registered competitors nationally.

Formula Vee is the best value-for-money race car package, providing the thrill of fiercely competitive motor racing on an affordable budget. Permitted modifications are minimal so emphasis is placed on driver ability as opposed to budget. As a result, many of Australia’s best drivers, including Larry Perkins, Colin Bond, John Bowe, Jason Bargwanna & Aaron Russell, commenced their careers in Formula Vee.

Up until 2004, Formula Vee's in Australia were based in the 1200cc Volkswagen engine, gearbox and suspension. After much research and consultation, the Australian Formula Vee community began its shift towards the volkswagen 1600cc engine, geabox and suspension. Today, Formula Vee look modern, are easy to work on and parts are plentiful.
