Just thought I'd give this thread a nudge to hopefully drum up some more interest. Still time to get involved people.

I see what you're saying Pete, might be worth a phone call to confirm it though.

Lol, she mentioned the car so you ditched her? In all honesty my better half has contributed a lot so I am grateful.

There's 1 or 2 parts missing: Time spent rowing with wife about how much you've spent. Time spent listening to wife moaning that you love that car more than her.

Not a Championship as they have specific rules but it is the Series (Tricolore Trophy nee French Trophy) that we are in yes. You would have to get your race licence etc. This is purely an opportunity of having a go without the outlay of prepping your own car.

I hope so, you've got some scaffold being delivered in about a fortnight:cry:

As a form of motorsport where everybody is on a pretty even footing, then the series should do well. The cost is still pretty low as stated and I wish everybody good luck with it. I just posted the figures, because I thought that if anybody wanted to crack on with it, they may have a bit of a shock.

Without getting into any arguments, as I'm not posting this to start one. I just think that 5k is VERY optimistic. I think 6k is more realistic really, for the benefit of anyone considering this. It's cost me almost 2k to convert mine to just basic MSA regs. Cage, seat, seat mount, harness, fire...

If you're starting with nothing and never raced before, make the initial startup budget somewhere between £7-£8000 realistically.

The straps are less than a fiver on ebay

That was supposed to be our little secret:quiet:

I posted the details on mine, which were from mytyres.

Just to thumb lifts in the pitlane, all being well.

Won't you struggle with noise James?

Big Ben was on the right, after I'd spun.

Get your names on the list and tell me your preferences. :) 1. Don (Track Race 40) 2. Team Gitspeed - Adam & Nathan are a possibility (Track Race 40)

Get mine for me too Dave?

Best way for us to try and make a conclusion, is for users to post details of their tyres - DOT codes, country made etc. Then if they're all similar (obviously the DOT codes will vary slightly) then we should be able to say whether there's any truth in the rumours. I'm off to check mine now...

No, the accelerator's on the right and it's not a 3 speed box.:approve: No just two landmarks to look out for.

I wouldn't say hassle free but yes far less than most. Even being strict on the budget, it's still gone over as they do. Just want it ready now.

Only this thread Sonny, I didn't really bother with a build thread because it was only very mildly modified for the track days. I've got all the bits ready to be fitted. Just need to order the cage and get Fred to put everything in. All I've got to do is strip the remaining bits out of the car...

See you at Silverstone then Oli, can't do Combe due to work unfortunately.

Cheers guys, taking it at Oulton probably wasn't the best choice. Trying to stay off the kerbs on the chicanes was a test in itself. However the examiner did give me two pointers that will help come raceday.

ARDS and medical passed today, so just the cage and bits and bobs fitted and then ready for Rockingham.

Cause you're not here!

Chances were a million to one they said.

Yep, changed on the forum today Tony. Bring my birthday card;)

You and me both Sonny, looks like a good start of entrants but could do with some more. For everybody else that might be interested: There's about 15 registered entries now, another 5 or so and we could have our own races folks. German series has now been added, so BMW non M cars etc. could...
