The popular Future Racers will rejoin the Independent Race Series in 2009, participating at four rounds of the series.

Future Racers are an excellent platform for close, hard-fought racing, featuring a chrome-moly spaceframe, carbon fibre panels, and a motorcycle-derived engine. The tightly controlled cars offer affordable, fair racing, and align closely with the philosophy of the Independent Race Series.

Lookout for the Future Racers from the first round of the Independent Race Series at Morgan Park, 20-22 March, 2009.
