History
Forty-five Years of Formula Vee
Founded as a Sports car Club of America (SCCA) class in 1963
to promote low-cost single seater racing, Formula Vee succeeded
beyond expectations and has become synonymous with large fields
of racecars and close, hard-fighting racing. The class rapidly
gained international status and remains a staple of racing
in Great Britain, Ireland, Europe, the Americas, and Australia.
Formula Vee has launched the careers of many successful drivers
including Indy 500 winners Rick Mears, Arie Luyendyk, Emerson
Fittipaldi, and Buddy Lazier. Formula One World Champions Niki
Lauda and Keke Rosberg also started in Formula Vee.
More than 200 current and vintage Formula Vee racers and their
crews, past drivers, and notable invited guests from l around
the world will gather at Roebling Road Race Track in Pooler
Georgia from April 4-6, 2008 to celebrate the 45th anniversary
of this long-standing and highly successful racing class.
This three-day event will feature practice sessions on Friday,
with qualifying and race events for all classes of current
and vintage Formulas Vees Saturday and Sunday, including the
race for the prestigious “Brundage Cup”. Displays
of memorabilia from throughout the class’s history will
be present along with plenty of camaraderie and bench racing.
Saturday will feature two time-honored traditions; a full-field
start line photo opportunity at lunchtime and the 45th Birthday
Party and Banquet featuring great food, a speaker of special
note to the history of racing, presentations and awards, and
