Hmm, id have to say though (i could be 100% wrong) but most of the drivers in the field race Aussie Racing cars because they love the category, they love the driving, they love the racing of that style, its cheap, effective, and maintainable, aswell as whole bucket of fun. Rather than your more serious racers going through Formula Ford, then perhaps overseas,or F3, or GT production, Carrera Cup etc etc.
Some of the field has no prior racing experience, most however have karting experience. A few in sport sedans.
Im not having a go at the category, becuase it is very successful, but most of the drivers in this series are 25+.
It seems the category is a way of promoting "motorsport can be fun, affordable, and realistic" and whats more its very successful being apart of the V8 support categories. Had it been elsewhere like under AMRS i dont think the category would reach its potential.
