1984/85 Ralt RT5 Super Vee

History

RT5-494

Ex-Colin Bennett Racing Team Car.

Finished 19th with Barti Stadler at 1984 Long Beach race. Additional top ten finishes in 1984 Bosch Pro Series with Bobby Fix.

The next reported history comes from a prior owner who says the car was raced in the U.S. Southwest, where it won multiple races and Championships with VARA (Vintage Auto Racing Association).

Thereafter the car was stored until being subjected to a systems refresh in 2023 by a pro-shop at Sonoma Raceway.

If you want to step up from Formula Ford and move to monocoque chassis, wings, slicks, and ground effects, for something close to a good Formula Ford price, this is the car.

The RT5 is the benchmark in FSV. As soon as they arrived, they dominated Formula Super Vee in the 1980’s, winning more championships than any other car. Al Unser Jr., Michael Andretti, Arie Luyendijk, and others all won their Championships behind the wheel of an RT5. This very car raced at the famous Long Beach Grand Prix Bosch Formula Super Vee race in 1984.

Now the RT5 is one of the best bangs for the buck in historic Motorsports. It can be raced with most U.S. vintage racing clubs, including but not limited to; CSRG, HMSA, VARA, SVRA, CVAR, HSR, and many others. It is also the least expensive, and one of the most competitive entries for the Masters Formula Atlantic Plus Series with races across the U.S. We have sold a bunch of RT5’s.

Don’t wait until the ship has sailed on Super Vees. Formula Ford prices for much more car and now great events in which to run them.
