Yes.
In board on the rear has always been allowed - since the beginning in 1965, rear spring medium was free, but on the front, the original damper mounting points must be used.

From my (poor) memory, we broke one or two ball joint spindles last year in our State, and one or two link pin spindles.
The link pin spindles are the more prone to break. What I failed to...

One of the regular cameramen has grown up and is now a University student, and so stays at home with his nose in books.

Dunlop triggered this entire change in 2014 when they announced by surprise they would close their factory. We then went to Hoosiers, but after some time people were hurting from the cost of...

We have finished our second round for the year. Here are some photos of the first couple of rounds.

And to make it worse, Hoosier dropped the price of their tyres after Yokohama were given the "contract", from $1420 to around $1,000, and also, Dunlop Formula Vee racing tyres came back on to the...

I forgot to add that because the rear tyres are smaller, they result in higher revs of about 3% to 4%more often, and will hit max revs at a few tracks in Australia, where we might not, or only just,...

Hi Guys
We in Australia have just had street tyres mandated (by the National Formula Vee body) purely on the basis of lower cost and longer life (and the kickbacks to the National body), with the...

Hi Mike
Sorry for the late reply. I just got a new computer and haven't looked at Apexspeed until now.
Which Indy race are you referring to?

This race took place later in the afternoon after the Race 2 in the last thread.
The end is exciting indeed.

Here is one more rear suspension on an Aussie Formula Vee. This car won the 2014 Australian Formula Vee Series.

Yes on the damper travel sensors, but its an air flow switch, not a mass flow sensor. If the fan belt breaks, it simply shows a warning light on the dash. An engine at full load only lasts a lap or...

Here are pictures of the rear suspension of two of Australia's fastest Vees, possibly the two very fastest Vees.
The first is the Checkmate, (of which there is only one, but another will be finished...

That was one of our less interesting races. It didn't provide anything like what happened in the picture.
Nice circuit, don't you think?

You got your wish.
The Aussie dollar was US$1.10 a couple of years ago, and is now around US$0.72. All our economic optimists are saying it could fall down to around US$0.60.

Just a clarification on the wheels on the F2K16.
The wheels I mentioned as being Chinese copies is not correct.
The wheels on the Jacer are THE NEW Performance Superlite wheels.

Wheels are 15 inch x 6 inch, and tyres are Hoosier 44405 Vintage TD Racers, 120/59-15 front, and 135/620-15 rear.
The wheel size is control, and the Hoosier tyres are now control.
This year...

Perhaps the coolest part of the Jacer F2K16 is the one-piece carbon fibre undertray, which wraps under the car from the high level under the legs like an F1 car, with a Vee splitter located under the...

Jacer say the wheelbase is 2,170 mm=85.43 inches (I did that in my head).
Bill wins the fiver.

Its 25.4 mm to the inch.
I'm bilingual.

I will find out and let you know, but I may have trouble converting millimetres to inches!

And here is another brand new Aussie Formula Vee (First) - well its Jacer F2k16 chassis 2, which will be departing the Jacer factory in Sydney tomorrow and making its way to other end of Australia in...

It may not be a 2018 model, but it still looks so modern and fresh and professional, and it would be great to have a few more of them racing.

That has got to be one of the best looking and engineered Formula Vee/First type cars anywhere. You just want to get in one and race its wheels off! Its a pity the Aussie dollar is so worthless...

I've been looking at the number of views for this video, but more people have been looking at this video, Race 2, probably because it is at the top, but Race 3 was a more exciting race.

My pleasure.
I have to ask one thing.
Can you understand the Aussie accents? (Otherwise known as "Strine", or "Straylyan").
Do you need the videos dubbed?
