Marcus01 Posted November 10, 2016 Posted November 10, 2016 Congratulations, Bring on the racing. Don't count the cost, just love the adrenalin rush. 1 Quote
Kraziekatz1 Posted November 11, 2016 Author Posted November 11, 2016 Cheers everyone OH was crying last night at the thought of how much it's all going to cost him lol Track conditions weren't great yesterday, heavy downpour just before test! Then bright sunshine right at eye level during the test. And confidence got knocked by the other person who was being tested. He's starting a new job at Williams in 2 wks & needed his licence. So, pretty chuffed I passed & made lots of good contacts along the way. Saving up to hit the NEC show in January, so I can get myself kitted out safely & keeping an eye out for a good track car!

brillomaster Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 so any thoughts on what race series you might be entering? is it still looking like a cheap track prepped MR2? Quote
Kraziekatz1 Posted November 11, 2016 Author Posted November 11, 2016 so any thoughts on what race series you might be entering? is it still looking like a cheap track prepped MR2? MR2 is the most likely option, however a friend pointed out the running costs of a Lotus would be much lower....less weight means less tyre/brake wear so not ruling it out just yet Have made some good friends recently, including a guy that races in the 750 club Classic hot hatches championships. Would just need a mk3 fiesta or something similar (needs to be pre 1992), 7 races/year and pretty cheap to get into. Might be a good place to start? Quote
Marcus01 Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 I race with 750mc in the mx5 cup. I am doing a trackday at Brands Hatch on Dec 2nd. If you fancy a drive to try a fully race prepped MX5 let me know. 1 Quote

If you fancy a drive to try a fully race prepped MX5 let me know. Very tempting - thanks for the offer I am free that day & would be pretty cool to pop along. Is that a Mazda on Track day? Quote
Marcus01 Posted November 12, 2016 Posted November 12, 2016 Yes. Mainly Mazda's but there will be other car types. Usually a good bunch of racecars attend this event. Quote
TT350 Posted November 12, 2016 Posted November 12, 2016 I'd love to take part in the honda vtec challenge. Quote
NeilMH Posted November 13, 2016 Posted November 13, 2016 Well done Mine was obtained in the era when all you had to do was fill in a form and be alive (if I recall correctly) - I just about managed that 1 Quote
Marcus01 Posted November 28, 2016 Posted November 28, 2016 Car is prepped, garage booked. Drivers briefing 8.30. Car 54 white Mazda with Midland Tyre Shaving logo. Cold but dry weather forcast. 1 Quote

Marcus01 Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 No frost forcast overnight, cloud cover. Might take a couple of laps to warm the tyres then should be able to make good lap times with all the cool air helping the engine. 1 Quote
