In 2025, Formula Vee Australia will once again join the Hi-Tec Oils Super Series at selected rounds.

Last year the national Vee championship joined the Super Series at Morgan Park in Queensland, as well as One Raceway in New South Wales.

In 2025 the category will join the schedule no less than three times, in New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia.

“We have four rounds in our Australian series, and the final three of those will be with the Hi-Tec Oils Super Series,” confirmed Australian Formula Vee President Rod Lisson.

“We are with the Super Series at Sydney Motorsport Park on May 30-June 1, August 15-17 at Queensland Raceway, and the final at Malala in September 26-28.”

All three venues are well suited to the racing that Formula Vee provides.

“At these venues you can't get away from the cars behind you, and more often than not, if you come into the last corner in first place, you’ll be in second or third by the time you cross the line,” Lisson chuckled.

Formula Vee is a budget way of going open-wheel racing around the country. While the speeds are not of the Australian Drivers’ Championship cars or Formula Ford, you will hard pressed to find closer racing in the country. But it is not just the cost that makes this category appealing.

“It's definitely close motor racing and probably the most cost-effective motor racing,” he confidently said.

“It's real grassroots motorsport and the Super Series is doing a fantastic thing by supporting us and letting us be part of it.”

For over 50 years Vees have produced thrilling slipstreaming duals, and will get to showcase on SBS, Fox Sports and the Super Series Youtube Channel in 2025.

After a successful partnership in 2024 with the Super Series, it was a no brainer for the two parties to continue that into this year.

“Whenever you speak to drivers who watch Formula Vee, they say it’s one of the most exciting series to watch because of the slip streaming, it's always close, tenths of a second between four or five cars across the line,” Lisson recalled.

“But a lot of the other categories used to pay more and get more credence when it comes to big events, we used to miss out. But not anymore, Super Series reached out, and it's just ideal for us.

“We get television coverage; we get the whole weekend covered. None of our competitors have loads of money to spend, but Super Series make it affordable for us and it’s a really good setup.

“To come to a race meeting and be able to say to our friends, ‘just tune into SBS or Foxtel and you can watch us live,’ that's a real draw card for people.”
