- 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.

Some successful people say, "One of the most important things in creating the life you want, is setting goals." I have just discovered my goal.
@Kirin Kirin I think it’s fairly obvious what I mean
How far have you reached?
@@Lonewolf770 My dream is to be a writer full time. I’ve nearly finished my first book. Next step is publishing
A-men
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.
We hope so too!
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.
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.
We have big goals and are determined to see them come to life. We can’t wait for that day when the Rodin FZERO is flying around the track! It’s getting closer!
@@RodinCars Love the garages and the track. It is a shame that modern F1 racetracks look like children's playmats..
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.
Fantastic story. Fantastic video, sound, directing, camera and drone work, and production. Simply superb on all counts. Job well done- you showed the magic.
This is AMAZING! Great Job RODIN!
Loved, Liked and Subscribed!
Just now catching up w/this clog, 2022! Absolutely Spectacular! Everything!!! The Cars! New Zealand! The Track! Omg, what a Dream!!!
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
🤓
That V8 Cosworth sounds good!!!
I may not be financially able to ever own the FZED but I would love to experience it or something similar in my life hopefully.
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.
When he said half a million I actually thought “that’s it!” Lol
An engineering masterpiece 🙌💪
I absolutely love driving t125 in Assetto Corsa! This must be amazing to drive in real life.
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.
Well done guys great vid
Ecactly what I’ve been looking for, let’s see how 2022 payout looks like and we’ll be talking soon.
really nice looking formula car
No amount of supercar or hyper car can compare to this F1 tyle of cars If had money to splurge now it’ll be this one for sure.
Excellent
Thanks for the music over the engine sound... /s
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.
Our driver's definitely understand focus and fearlessness. They understand controlled wildness, and always with the ultimate outcome in mind - that perfect lap and epic time!
Do yo guys sell cars only in NZ or to other countries? If yes are their any certain qualifications or buying criteria. How much would this engineering marvel cost?
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?
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.
What class(es) can this race in?
This is something even if I had the money I would take the time to level up through lower ranks then buy this thing then I’ll be ready to really push it
"That is the most intense experience i have ever had behind a wheel of a motorcar" funnily enough anyone who drove any motorcar can say that.😂
That's actually affordable for a formula 1 car
I’ll just go and check my lottery tickets!🤞🤞
Rodin: it makes you think.
Formula 1 Car Style
It needs blinkers and lights so I can drive it on the highway 😂
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?
is it street legal?
It's a 2011 formula 1 car, so it's not exactly Street legal
👍🥳🎉🕺💃
I have driven an F1 car 😉
The first thing to show on the sphere, once F1 take over, should be a video of all F1 Champions chronological 🙌
Time to look up how to make have a million 😜
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.
This IS a LOTUS TYPE 125.
Its actually much more closely related to a formula 2 car than it is a formula 1 car.
What a professional operation. I wonder if the Giz has the lap record.
Doesnt mean shit unless I can race it around silverstone or barcelona or frace.
Yo how much are these in GBP
Oh and can you get a halo on the top?
I am probably the odd man out here but, I would rather experience a Ducati V4 Superleggera on track. Nothing at all against the car. I am an F1 fan as well as Motogp and WSBK. Just my preference.
it sunf=ds better than modern f1
So there’s truly not much new to this car, a Lotus design based on an A1GP car, based on the Ferrari F2004…
I can buy? You mean someone that is so rich that can budget millions of dollars of year just for leisure? I barely afford the gas in my tank let alone the tickets to see a race.
