Building a new car from scratch

Building a new Formula Vee would be difficult, you could order a chassis from a manufacturer, and build it yourself. Its part of the category strengths.
But if you want to have one made from scratch there are so many options, so much work to do to make the moulds, the design is endless.

So every race meeting I watch knowing the greatest car ever designed is going to be mine. he new Rapier is a 1600cc design, and a lot more torque than the old 1200cc I had. It is advanced, and should allow me to play at the front of the field.

It sounds corny, and I hope its the best car, but I want to race people. So I hope its not really bad, or really good and doesn't push me. To have a race where you did your best, it doesn't matter if I came 1st or 9th, as long as I battled with the best on even ground.

My new car is being built by a guy I'd call a genius. Every car he works on goes so much faster. However, the main difference between competitors is always the organic component, and the Formula Vee racing category is so close mechanically, that you really have to push yourself to stay at the front.

When we have the car finished, I think I'll be a very happy boy. Then I'll need partners (sponsors) that I can help make money enough to help me go racing.
