• The cars are built by Adrian Reynard, who also constructed the original F1 Honda BAR cars
• These cars were built for the feeder series Champ cars in the US (like GP2 is to F1)
• These cars do 450BHP/ per tonne with a V6 Dodge engine (if the racers are novices we detune their cars so that they are safe)
• Each car has a carbon fibre chassis and is built to FIA safety standards. This means they have similar safety standards to F1 cars
• They have the full race configuration

Killarney Race Track

In 1960, Killarney's 3.6km track hosted the F1 Cape Grand Prix. Since then it has developed every facet of circuit racing, including Motocross, Karting, Super Motards, Stock Cars and Drag Racing. Killarney is a great, fairly uncomplicated track and is ideal for novices. It also has a stunning view of Table Mountain and is only 20-30 minutes from the centre of the city.
