This video details the process of me buying a race car. There was a lot to research and understand, and maybe it was good I had to wait so long to sell my Sileighty, since it gave me plenty of time to be thorough. I’m beyond excited about the journey to come!

Some thanks and acknowledgements:

My family and friends, for listening to me ramble on about buying a race constantly for half a year.

My best friend Dave, for helping me prepare, and then accompanying me on a very long drive to pick up the car.

James, the seller of the red Williams prototype, for answering many questions when I thought this was the one. Unfortunately my driveway made it too hard.

Darren from the NSW Super Sport series, for answering questions on racing in that series.

Greg from the NSW FRCA, for being generous with his time in person at SMSP and answering many further questions in follow up communications.

Derek, seller of the yellow F1000 and co-founder of F1000 racing is Australia, for answering questions on his car and the F1000 category in general.
