Leasing an Aussie Racing Car
There are a number of leasing options available from single race to the entire season. You can enter into an arrive and drive arrangement whereby a car will be
provided ready to race at the track for the various rounds of the series. This
option gives you the flexibility to just turn up, jump in and race at a cost
that is much more reasonable than any other true racing class. All preparation
work,race set up and repairs is carried out at the track by the Works Team. Most
competitors do not understand the technical aspects of optimum chassis set up
and the close association with the works team mechanics will assist you to
understand how to get the most out of your car and thereby give you that
competitive edge. Your own sponsor signage can be displayed on the car.
Buying a new Aussie Racing Car
Cars are delivered in complete ready to race form with only the owners sponsor
signage or livery requirements to be added. Cars are supplied with a chassis set
up that is capable of allowing the driver (with the appropriate skill level of
course) to win races. A car costs around $40.000. A small order deposit is
required to confirm the order. Progressive payments are required over the
build. Build time is approx 16 weeks but is dependant on varying factors
including but not limited to production load, series and race event scheduling,
component supply, track test time availability, etc.
Buying a pre-raced Aussie Racing Car
As Aussie Racing Cars is a strictly controlled category, and modifications are not permitted, it is recomended that prospective buyers of pre-raced cars contact ARC to obtain an obligation-free appraisal of the car's history, condition and compliance with the regulations.
Aussie Racing Cars Licence Agreement
The category is now regarded as the strongest and most successful in Australia and to protect and enhance the investment that car owners have made in the product the manufacturer has issued a category licence (subject to terms and conditions) which must be current prior to entry into any events.
When purchasing a second hand car you should firstly check with the seller and subsequently with the manufacturer that a current agreement is attached to it. A licence system is in place in the majority of National categories including Carrera Cup, V8 Supercars and Utes etc which have increased in value over time and now with second hand car prices constantly exceeding new car prices it is quite clear the value of the Aussie Racing Car product is following this trend.
The Aussie Racing Car Licence agreement gives car owners/competitors a recognisable security in their investment that is more economically friendly and principally free of the performance requirements incumbent in the franchise system.
