Screaming V8 Powered Formula 5000s of the 70s - Onboard!
Formula 5000 was created in 1968 and became one of the most exciting single-seater open-wheel racing categories of its time. Think Formula One of the period yet powered by sizeable 5 litre Stock block mass production based Small Block V8's that would appear to be right at home in the engine bay of your average Muscle Car in the day like a 69 Z28 Camaro, particularly when compared to the high tech racing engines of Formula One in the day such as the Ford Cosworth V8, Ferrari Flat 12 and many more exotic multi-valve examples. With more engine capacity that the F1 equivalent and a very healthy 600 Horsepower along with a kerb weight under 700kg, these winged warriors shod with big slick tyres performed incredibly well.
This was an era when racing drivers needed nerves of steel and no fear, with minimal crash protection and insane power to weight ratios of over 850hp/Ton. Join us as we take a close up look at legendary NZ racer Ken Smith's Lola 332 Chevy power example, then ride onboard with Ken and also Tom Tweedie's Chevron B24 during an action-packed race at the Phillip Island Classic Festival of Speed in Australia.
At Master of Machines we'll check out anything with wheels or an engine, from American Muscle Cars, Australian Muscle Cars, Japanese Cars, European Cars, Classic Cars, Vintage Cars, Race Cars, Vintage Racers, Historic Race Cars, Pro Touring, Street Machines, Speedway, Aircraft, Engines, Motorcycles, Trucks, you name it, even a military tank! If it's super cool we'll cover it, and not only that, in many cases, we'll even drive, race or ride them!
Passionate car guy and Master of Machines host Glenn Everitt has extensive experience in the Automotive Industry, as a high performance technician, auto mechanic and dyno tuner, including other industries such as auto restoration and auto detailing. He's a lifelong racer too, born into a motorsport family and starting with road racing from the age of 14, and also competing in Drag Racing to help promote his dyno shop for many years. He's also passionate about two wheels as well, having started out on dirt bikes, then moving to Sports bikes of all kinds.
