Vintage Formula Vee

Vintage Formula Vee mod for rFactor
Copyright 2009 Strava

Three Formula Vee cars from the mid to late 60's

Bobsy - Probly the first prototype made by Bobsy
Vega - a much later Bobsy design.
Wedge - a one off fiberglass body

This mod was made to conform to the SCCA specs for FV.

Almost all components MUST be stock VW.

When fully tuned and balanced the flat 4 1200cc engin can produce about 65hp at 7000 rpm

The tires are 60's era bias ply street tires.

The gearbox is restricted to the few gear sets available for the Bug & Transporter.

The performance of all Vs is almost identical. That, combined with the low HP, modest grip and limited gear ratios makes it very much a driver's race. Being smooth and finding the perfect line is required to win.
