The current National Technical Director, Michael Lloyd, has indicated that after 3 years in the position, he will not be re-standing for the position for 2014. The FVAA therefore are calling for Expressions of Interest for members who would like to stand for this influential position.

All,
It was recently discovered that the AA pistons that are the only 1200 piston currently available are coming into Australia with a graphite coating and the Formula Vee regulations do not allow coatings to pistons. The National Technical Committee (NTC) looked into the coating and found that it was only a graphite coating and was easily removed with steel wool and therefore was not considered to be a performance gain in any way.

Round 2 of the Clemenger International Freight Formula Vee Australian Series 2013 is approaching – Sandown 20-21 July. This will be followed by Round 3 at Mallala 17-18 August. The current pointscore is attached.

Entry forms are available for Sandown 20-21 July. This event is FVA Victoria Round 4 and Clemenger International Freight Formula Ve Australian Series Round 2. The event is promoted by the Sports Sdan Association.

The 2012 year for TEAM STINGER was pretty good. Looks like this year couldbe better. See attached the 2013 Mid year review 2013 season so far. Dominant wins in South Australia and Western Australia. Top ten Qualy for both iX’s at Bathurst Rnd 1 Aus Series Fastest lap in wet and only race at Bathurst. Newest Stinger iX sets two new hill climb records Australia fastest 1200 wins again at Bathurst and NSW State 1st round.

As per the previous news release talking about the Fuel Injection Project currently being developed by a group of students from the University of Adelaide. As part of the projects the students were asked to develop a survey so they can work out what you as competitors are thinking. Please take 5 minutes or so to go through this short survey which asks you some very general questions about Formula Vee and Fuel Injection as well as providing you with the ability to type in your thoughts.

FVAA Members, In case you are not aware, in February of this year, the FVAA BoM agreed to support a group of students from the University of Adelaide who offered to produce a design for a Prototype Fuel Injection System that could potentially be incorporated into Formula Vee some time in the future. Please note that Fuel Injection is definitely not decided upon as a firm direction and until full consolation of the FVAA membership occurs then it will remain only an option being studied.
