Australia's Leading Professional Motor Sport Training
Formula Fords
The school’s new cars are fine examples of the evolution of Formula Ford design over the years. Our four Van Diemen Zetec 1800cc state-of-the-art Formula Fords are the most modern cars used in Australia's leading racing driver training school. They have ample room in their cockpits for the larger-framed driver. Up to 193cm in height and about 120kg in bulk can be accommodated.

These cars are easy to drive with Hewland LD 200 4 speed racing gearboxes. No previous experience necessary as we patiently coach you where required.

A pair of RF98 cars complement two RF99/00 chassis. They were designed to be very similar to Formula Three technology and each is equipped with an electronic instrument panel.

Safety is foremost at our school and the cars are fitted with quick-release 6 point harnesses and removable Momo Formula One steering wheels.

Performance: Formula Fords have been timed at over 240km/h at Bathurst's Mount Panorama. The cars are maintained to professional standards.
