This video details the process of me buying a race car. There was a lot to research and understand, and maybe it was good I had to wait so long to sell my Sileighty, since it gave me plenty of time to be thorough. I’m beyond excited about the journey to come!
Some thanks and acknowledgements:
My family and friends, for listening to me ramble on about buying a race constantly for half a year.
My best friend Dave, for helping me prepare, and then accompanying me on a very long drive to pick up the car.
James, the seller of the red Williams prototype, for answering many questions when I thought this was the one. Unfortunately my driveway made it too hard.
Darren from the NSW Super Sport series, for answering questions on racing in that series.
Greg from the NSW FRCA, for being generous with his time in person at SMSP and answering many further questions in follow up communications.
Derek, seller of the yellow F1000 and co-founder of F1000 racing is Australia, for answering questions on his car and the F1000 category in general.

After racing circuit boats for a number of years, I know 1st hand that any form of racing takes, dedication, patience, time, luck, friends and most of all money, most of those things I lost along the way. Cannot wait to see what you achieve with this pathway, and how you combine it with your love of 3D printed parts.

As allready said, I'm really excited to see and hear about the tech of the car. Also I think you'll be really happy with it, since you've put so much time and effort in choosing the car. I've bought an 325ti track car some years ago, without fully thinking it throught and even so it was very fun to drive, I've noticed pretty soon, that the car wasn't right for me - completly stripped without AC or Radio, running semislicks, 6-point harness and bucket seats. Driving it on curvy roads or track was loads of fun - getting there, not having a trailer, was exhausting at least... I wish you no trouble/crashes and instead a load of fun and will happily wait for the upcoming videos :)

Huge congrats mate. I learnt to drive circuits in my dad's historics, and have looked at the f1000 cars for about a decade - kids, surfing and work have held me back. These are the icon of fun open wheel - you've hit the jackpot I reckon. Keep us dreamers posted on how it all plays out! Hope to come and watch a race at SMSP really soon.

Many congrats! That's a sweet car, and seems to fit your situation really perfectly.

Nice one Michael, I discovered your other channel having discovered that 3DP is now properly accessible to the layman. I come from a background as a motorsports design engineer, so my experience with SLA and SLS was just designing parts that were handed over to the RP boys, who made them. You've helped loads with your site and it seems to have gone full circle with you getting a formula car. This is great, if I can be of any help at all, just shout. Can't wait to see this channel unfold and see how you get on. Keep it on the black stuff :) Ade

Found this video really really fascinating, it was so great how you documented your whole process. As a British guy, I find it admirable the lengths you Aussies have to go for getting motorsport stuff😅. I'm lucky enough to be 15 minutes from donington park, and could get to most race tracks in England within 3 hours. When you said "it's in the same state as me, but over 200 miles away" I was baffled, I always forget how huge Australia is😂. I have nothing but respect for the journey you've gone on to get this car. I am incredibly excited to watch the rest of the videos on your racing journey, thank you for making this for us to watch😁

@TTRacingYT 11 месяцев назад
Europe (and particularly the UK) is definitely where it's at for motorsport. I'm roughly half way between Eastern Creek and Bathurst, with the newer Luddenham Raceway closer still. Not quite the same as you but plenty to keep me busy at the moment.

@PiefacePete46 11 месяцев назад
@robinthebobin6537 : There is a TV series called 'Outback Truckers' not too high on artistic merit, but it gives a very clear picture of the vastness of Australia, and how undeveloped the interior territories are. From a different point of view: I live in New Zealand, similar land area to the UK. When visiting relatives near London we quickly said 'Yes' when the offered to drive us back to our accommodation... after all, it would only be about a 30 minute drive (In NZ). When they dropped us off after a three and a half hour stop-start drive, we were very embarassed! NZ's total population is less than London's!

Congratulations! That will be a ton of fun to drive and race! I went with a SR3XX, but without the ability to remove the front splitter it requires 10 feet of ramp and 4 huge boards to load it into my enclosed trailer, so not exactly convenient 😅 But sure is a blast to drive!
@jamesmccabe5188
@jamesmccabe5188 11 месяцев назад
Congratulations on your purchase. I hope you enjoy the journey. I loved the backstory and the logic behind the choice. I would concur with most of them. Our point of difference may be that I would have chosen the Super Sports series, as I think it is incredibly strong at the moment and getting better all the time. That said you explained why you didn't go that route and it makes sense. I am a professional race engineer and am currently involved in the Super Sports series in NSW. I was also involved with the original Speads Sports Racers when they were imported by Meridian Motorsport. Happy too chat if you think it may be useful.

Small world :) If it wasn't for my driveway I would have bought the Williams and entered Supersports. Darren was super helpful. I had a builder come to the house to quote on structural modifications to accommodate a crane/hoist for getting the car onto a trailer, but it just wasn't worth it. FRCA and SuperSports are quite often racing at the same events so maybe I'll meet you next year at some stage.

Great idea, Michael and congrat's on the purchase. I've just been through the same decision and bought a 1000cc Ya-Car Cross Kart with broadly the same specification as you had. It should arrive later this year so I'll be doing a few track days to shake it down. If you're interested in catching up at one and doing a bit of a comparison then drop me a line. Cheers, Rob

It's absolutely fantastic in this day and age to find a down to earth person like this who has made and still makes great well thought out decissions about making his passion come through. I can only imagine the feeling of racing a liteweight open wheeler, the lack of inertia and fantastic feeling of race suspension. The closest I've gotten was in a Lotus street car 10 years ago. After that I dreamed of designing and building a liteweight Porsche 909 Bergspyder like car with an Audi TT 1.8T midmounted drivetrain but that's for my next life ha ha.

If distance and transport weren't an issue, I would have suggested a Formula Star Mazda from the early 2000s. They were powered by the Mazda Renesis engine (twin rotary) with 240bhp and high reliability. Most listed sell for less than your budget (US$25K).

I’ve been going through this process off and on for a couple years. I even went out and saw that yellow F1000 in WA. The car I ended up buying was a Tarmac Rally car and is an absolute dud. After it’s fully sorted (as I don’t intend to pass on a problem) I’ll sell it and I’ll be back in the market for an open wheeler. Wish I’d gone that way first time. Look forward to following your journey.

I follow your 3D printing... then saw this video. I used to live in Australia (Penrith, just up the road from you!), and worked on rally cars out in Orange designing steering and suspension setups. I used to be on the spanners with a Formula 5000 car some years ago in the UK, which was fun. Back in the UK now, and my only racing these days is Sim racing, online. Race anything, any time, anywhere, and no cost to fix it after lap 1 turn 1 chaos 🙂 Good luck with the F1000 !
@TTRacingYT

Penrith is indeed very close to me. I'm in a league with Sunday night sim races, it's a lot of fun and I'm, hoping what I have learned will transfer to real life.
