In 1962 four Formula Vee cars competed in a race in Savannah, USA. The newcomers were looked at as slow modified Beetle-descendants and were to start from the back of the grid. The race however ended in a spectacular triple victory and started the victory-tour of these formula cars. On January 18, 1963 the Formula Vee Racing Association was founded. Now the Formula Vee is still the largest single-seater class in the USA being governed by the Sportscar Club of America (SCCA).
