You did a great job of building your own car! It took you a damn long time to complete it and all Those hard work paid off👍 Great job dude!!

Well. That's an impressive job of driving this project from naught to the track. Speaking as a Yank, it's quite something new to see the Beetle repurposed in this way. It looks like tons of fun! And the frame will help me in my project for a lightweight HPV enclosed for the weather. Best of luck in the races!H

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. You've actually got Formula Vee in America, using the beetle bits, it's a truly global class. Good luck with your project, a human powered vehicle (did I get that correct?) would be quite interesting.

Theese videos are great, keep up the good work and best of luck racing!

Awesome car, nice build series

Great Work!

Terminated Yeah, what happen to those. They looked awesome.

Is that a VW 4cil boxer engine ? which gear box? Thank you and really great work.

Correct on the engine. I'm not sure the specific gearbox, there's only one type allowed in our category though so I just got hold of one which had been in another Vee.

Nice job. How much does it weigh?

@thomsenmotorsport7201

+50zone it weighs 415 kg without driver and with a full tank of fuel (8kg) so it's pretty light. I've had to add a bunch of lead to reach the minimum competition weight. The benefit is that I can put it where I need it in the car.

Fantastic!. Good job, but my recomendet is that better put hayabusa motor..of motor cicly more 1500 cc

This is defined by the competition rules as the engine for the category.

Can I just ask why the H-beam front axle?

ThomsenMotorsport I found your suspension video right after I asked this question. Makes sense, you want to drive better than the next guy, not have to have a car thats better than his.

Which engine have you used and what's the max speed??

Barath Krishna S he said in the previous videos it's a beetle engine. It's an air cooled flat 4. As for top speed it probably doesn't really matter since it won't be reached on track anyway

+Alex Marczuk correct on the engine but we do sit at the top speed on the huge straight at Sydney motorsport park, roughly 175 kph.

I know that you would know better since you've driven this around your local track, but the car seems to understeer a bit especially when turning right. Its prominent in the video at 3:08 & 3:12 atleast.

+Jaideep Vaidya I've managed to dial the understeer out a lot, still does on the limit though.

This build is so impressive and I really like the design of the car. Why does it have that asthmatic H4 in it though? It seems like you're the slowest car out there.

That's what the rules for this class require. I was out with Formula Fords that day, they are faster.

Is this for random people to do stuff together or is it something else?

It's for a racing category in Australia.

your lap was about 1:15 if it helps

That's correct, the rear has no anti-roll bar.

The play list of the build is a little out of build ordr

Thanks for your comments. I'll have a think about the order of this playlist, I did it in chronological order of when I released the videos. I might rethink it in terms of when I did each part.

time to add front wing, rear wing and sharks fin for higher downforce
