Formula Holden is the top open wheel racing category in Australia. It is based on 3.8 litre (3.6 litre from 2005) V6 Holden engines mounted in ex-Formula 3000-class chassis (almost always from Japan). It was the category that awarded the CAMS Gold Star and Australian Driver's Championship. From 2005 the Gold Star has moved to Australian Formula Three. The drivers in the series tend to be a mix of older drivers who own their own cars, or very young Oceanic or South Asian drivers looking to make a name for themselves in the international scene. Although technically using cars and engines just a step below Formula One, the lack of competition in the series means that drivers tend to progress from Formula 4000 a minor series in Europe (Will Power, British Formula Three) or North America (Scott Dixon, Indy Lights). Open-wheel racing refers to a type of motor racing in which the wheels of the cars are not housed inside fenders, as in stock car or touring car racing, but rather out in the open at the end of readily-visible axles and suspension systems. ...
