Formula Vee, a low-cost form of open-wheeler circuit racing based on parts from the Volkswagen Beetle, was first raced in Australia in 1965.^[1]

In 2004, Australian Formula Vee instituted a switch from the original 1200cc engine to the later 1600cc Beetle engine and gradually introduced other modern components (such as disc brakes) to ensure the continued availability of parts.^[1] The resulting cars are similar to Formula First vehicles raced in the US and New Zealand. As of 2024, 1200cc cars are still permitted to run and a separate class result is recorded for the slower 1200cc category.

As of 2024, Formula Vees are raced in state-based racing series in every Australian state,^{[2][3][4][5][6][7]} as well as a single round "National Challenge" and a four-round national series, part of which runs as part of the Hi-Tec Oils Super Series and is televised on SBS Australia.
