Hello,
I've been drag racing for several years and I am very interested in getting into wheel to wheel racing. A weekend at Road America sealed the deal for me! I am knowledgeable with cars and performance, but I know very little and Formula cars.
A friend of mine has a car that he is looking to sell. I have attached a photo. The only things I really know about it is that it has a 1000cc motorcycle engine and a sequential paddle shifter. It had a different engine in it at one point.
Can anyone tell me anything about this style of car? I'm assuming this is a Formula 1000 car because of the engine, but I could be wrong. I'm also guessing the "FC" on the car indicates the class it was in at one point?
What kinds of things should I be looking at prior to buying the car? I should be able to get a good feel for the motor based on my previous experience, but these types of racecars are totally foreign to me.
Thanks in advance!
