Formula Palmer Audi has proved itself over the last nine years to be
one of the premier training grounds for aspiring Formula 1 drivers. Nine FPA
graduates have progressed their careers to Formula 1, with many more racing in
premier international championships such as Champ Cars, DTM, Japanese Super GT,
British Touring Cars, LMES and World Touring Cars.
All cars in the
championship are owned and run by the FPA Team, which is based in 30,000sq
ft workshops at its own test track, Bedford Autodrome. Every car is prepared to
the same standard by a team of highly experience engineers, ensuring absolute
equality of equipment for all drivers and providing the unique "level playing
field" that has provided the springboard for so many talented drivers.
As the cars are equal, the racing is close and overtaking
frequent. The cars have 300 bhp from Audi 1.8 turbo engines and are fitted with
the innovative "overboost" button that increases power to 360bhp for an eight
second burst to aid overtaking, or defending!
The cars are fitted with a
single-plane front wing, two-plane rear wing and a large rear diffuser to
provide aerodynamic grip, while 250/570 section front tyres and 300/600 section
rear tyres provide the mechanical grip. FPA is renowned for providing some of
the most spectacular single-seater racing in the UK.
Comma
performance motor oils,
brake fluid,
coolants and
maintenance products will be used
in every FPA car providing Comma with the ultimate proving ground and showcase
for comma products in an intensely demanding environment.
