The Rodin FZED made its Australian debut at the 2023 Adelaide Motorsport Festival. And will return in the Tipo F1 category at the 2024 Repco Adelaide Motorsport Festival on March 16 and 17.
The Rodin FZED is derived from the T125, a near-Formula 1-spec single-seater developed by the Lotus team in 2011. New Zealand manufacturer Rodin Cars took over the project and developed the FZED, forming a partnership with Zagame Automotive to bring the car to Australia.
The FZED uses a 3.8-litre Cosworth V8 making 675bhp at 9600RPM, allowing the owner to experience a level of performance that rivals modern era grand prix cars.
The Rodin FZED set an unofficial lap record at Donington Park’s National Circuit in the United Kingdom, beating the time set by a V10-powered 1997 Benetton B197 Formula 1 car.
The Rodin FZED features the iconic black and gold livery made famous by the Lotus Formula 1 team.
Open-wheel cars from a variety of categories, styles and eras will feature in the Tipo F1 category. Tipo, or types, introduces more varieties of open-wheelers into the event, alongside the Formula 1 category.
Tipo F1 will feature the likes of Formula 5000, Formula 3000, Formula Renault, Formula Holden, single-seat track cars and more.
Categories featuring Formula 1, V8 Supercars, Group C and A touring cars, sportscars, IndyCars and more will again feature over the course of the Adelaide Motorsport Festival, with more news on categories, star cars and drivers and on and off-track activations coming soon.
