Formula Super Vee
The big brother of the widely successful Formula Vee, FSV began in 1971 with successful but barely reported series in Europe and the US. The original specification was for the air-cooled engine from the VW Beetle but the formula flourished following the introduction of the water-cooled Scirocco engine in 1978.
In Europe it fitted into the development ladder around F3 and later Formula Renault Europe but in the US it gained a position between sprint cars and Indy car racing. Both Can-Am and Formula Atlantic were higher profile in the early 1980s but FSV profited from Atlantic's disastrous Mondial season in 1983 and Can-Am's decline in 1984/85.
Our coverage picks up with the US series during its early 1980s peak.
