    Default Van Diemen RF00 F1000 wide track

    I will probably regret posting my car for sale but here is goes. The reason is after the Florida Majors and NOLA I am qualified for the Runoffs. My plan is to drive another car available to me for the Runoffs in F1000 and plan to qualify in P2 for the Runoffs as well.

    Just in time for the first F1000 Championship Series event at Road Atlanta March 20th weekend, VIR April 16/17 and the remaining series races.

    Just attended the Florida Nationals at Homestead and Sebring. Car set a new Homestead track record and Majors win on Saturday in race one and was second on Sunday. Qualified 2nd at Sebring with a 4th due to bad start caused by a P1 and 2nd in race two. I had not been in the car since March 2014. NOLA March 7/8 we had two firsts and a track record. Car also holds track record at Palm Beach from 2013 Nationals. The car is the best it's ever been with new Taylor diff and fresh shock rebuild. It has taken me several years to assemble all the right pieces for this car.

    I have raced many classes over the years and found F1000 to be one if not the lowest cost class you can run with incredible performance.

    FOR SALE
    Van Diemen RF00 F1000. The newest VD F1000 chassis conversion and probably the most developed Van Diemen in F1000. This style chassis is still dominant in F2000 and has many wins in F1000. This has the latest version Nova conversion chassis/HRP rear body and air box.

    Full Carbon Fiber nose/attentuator with new never installed spare carbon fiber nose. This nose allows for a full plane wing.

    If you need a trailer I would consider selling my 2006 20’ x 8.5’ Enclosed trailer. Trailer is rivitless with full aluminum interior with Diamond plate floor, full aluminum/stainless workbench with mounted 5 drawer tool box under workbench, shore power, outlets, Florescent lights, loaded with pit pal stuff including two tire racks, nitrogen tank mounting brackets, and aluminum loading ramps for $5,500.

    This is a great car and can win any race with a top driver. Probably the best NovaRace conversion out there.
    We would get it but have a new car coming very soon.

    I can deliver car to Road Atlanta next week or VIR in April for the Majors/F1000 Championship Series Events.

    I would also assist you with familiarization of maintaining and running the car over the weekend if needed.

    Default Van Diemen F1000

    Results from Atlanta shows the Van Diemen can run with the best.

    Just updated original post with items I forgot.

    Also I just ordered a new HRP Diffuser for car. So package will include a spare developmental rear diffuser built for maximum downforce allowed by F1000 rules. in fact I think it makes too much downforce for higher speed tracks.

    I could assist with delivery for a reasonable distance or could deliver to Mid Ohio Majors May 29 weekend. I can assist you with familiarization in running the car as needed.

    Ad has been updated with the addition of a New HRP Citation F1000 diffuser made to fit the Nova configuration with strakes. Also added is a new water jet cut chassis floor for future refresh.
