  • Renowned motoring journalist, Andrew Frankel, visited the Rodin Cars facilities all the way down in stunning New Zealand, to get behind the wheel of the FZED - an open-wheel trackcar that’s the closest thing to driving in your very own, brand new F1 vehicle. In his own words, let Andrew take you behind the scenes and show you what he made of it all.
    Driving in an FZED isn't just a matter of jumping in a seat and turning a key. This is a specialist vehicle that requires specialist training. But is it worth the fuss? Andrew seems to think so. A three-day, specifically developed driver training program is essential to get your head around the ins and outs of this mechanical beast - and that's what Andrew Frankel took part in. The first step towards owning and driving your own FZED.
    THE RODIN DRIVER TRAINING PROGRAM:
    As an owner, Rodin customer's are invited to participate in this same 3 day driver training program, which prepares them for the completely unique experience of driving a vehicle such as this. This program take's place at Rodin’s private test track in New Zealand and is designed to ensure owner's can get to grips with the FZED in their own time with the help of a world-class team of engineers, together with experienced driving coach and racing driver, Mark Williamson. The entire Rodin program is not just about the driving, as it also allows you to relax in the comfort of a fully fitted pit garage and hospitality suite overlooking the garage and the stunning scenery in Waiau, Canterbury, New Zealand.

    Great insight into a fabulous car built by a very passionate individual. Hope I get to experience the Rodin FZED one day. This will add to my Lotus F1 experience.

    I was quite surprised when you said the price was about 500,000 pounds. I was expecting 2 million. That looks like a lot of car for the money.

    That track is super sketchy. There is about 200 feet from the corner a huge cliff with no tire barriers. Big balls to drive flatout on that track.

    Would be awesome if Newey and Red Bull started making single / tandem seater trackday toys ranging from a basic 3 cylinder, H pattern cable shift single seater for 15-20k, all the way up to something ridiculous (in a good way!) like this for an eye watering 500k.

    That track is so beautiful, Whenever I fantasize about having a private race track it always looks something like this, I'd have it in Wyoming with a bunch of big beautiful peaks in the distance. I'll probably never be able to afford either that fantasy track or a FZED but it is cool to see someone gets to have it.

    You guys have worked very long and hard on the FZED, and should give yourself a big pat on the back. The results are incredible, and you should be proud of your ingenious and engineering prowess.

    On the west coast of US, southern most tip of California lies the Imperial Sand Dunes of Glamis.
    A Funco F9 in the sand dunes of Glamis is said to be the world of Motorsports best kept secrets. Nothing else like it.
    Growing up karting, 125cc shifters, I bet this F1 experience is next level. But I would be hard pressed to say it’s a more exhilarating experience than tearing up the dunes in a Funco

      F2004 for me, it's insane, but to be honest, the Tatuus FA01 is already pretty amazing and does not drain all my concentration within minutes like the F1 car does. It's not always about raw power and speed, but the amount of grip and downforce in the corners makes the FA01 so much fun. Makes me wonder if you still get something similar IRL, because those had been dirt cheap.

      We definitely sell our vehicles world wide. As part of the purchase, our customers are taken through a specifically designed and tailored 3 day driver training program which will teach them everything they need to know to successfully drive the vehicle; both technically and skillfully. Send us an email at enquiries@rodin-cars.com and we will be able to give you more information about the investment and ownership process.

    This Car looking very interresting for a Track day formula car.
    But can i compete whit this car in a racing series (is it ready to race or need it some upgrades?) and exist there maybe a race sim (for example: rFactor2 or Assetto Corsa) mod for this car to use and training it in the simulator?

    • @RodinCars
      @RodinCars  4 года назад +5

      It depends on the racing series and regulations. We can work with our owners to develop and manufacture any additional upgrades that are required for specific racing series upon request.

      I have seen "Maxx formula" race event during Euro Nascar, there was a wide variety of cars, old F1 cars, Indy cars, GP2 cars... all racing together. Maybe there it could participate. I was excited to see them racing, but the drivers were completely outclassed by their cars. They once braked at 250m, the next lap they started braking at like 150m, had a lock up and went off the track, then they would brake at 300m the next lap. They were spinning out on the way to the starting grid in the most bizarre way... It was a bit painful to watch them.

    The ONLY thing I don't like is the rear spoiler and the sharkfin. I like the rear spoiler wide and low, which would look super sexy on this car.
    Performance car brakes can be really expensive. How much racing life can you get out of these carbon-carbon pads and rotors?

    If I was rich enough, I’d buy this over any Bugatti, supercar or hypercar. At the end of the day, this is the ultimate driving experience in my mind. I don’t need a car like this to be road legal, we have no autobahn in the USA so it’s not like you could drive it flat out anywhere without getting mega speeding fines or a suspended license. Rodin should be proud of themselves for completing this project. Someone will get to make their dreams come true in it.
