Agreed. MSA don't help either though.
£800 cage, 12 months ago fitted, car 7 months finished build, 4 events inc international event and now I can't fecking compete in it again unless I strip the car out and replace the whole cage!! It certainly won't be another SD one.
Emailed my scrutineer and he said as long as I have paperwork, there shouldn't be an issue.
Not sure what paperwork he means, as I just remember it just having the sticker like the above photo
Have a look for a local motor club and pop there, quite often people would love to have help on events.
Britishrally.co.uk also has a section where people can offer services etc
Sprints and hillclimbs is also something to look into to help out etc, not just race and rally
Had a chat with AA bloke and Transporters are uncomfortable and break down more often than others.
Vivaro/trafic/primastar are good all rounders.
Transits are most reliable apparently but crap on fuel etc.
I currently have to sometimes drive a new shape Trafic and it drives very well, is nippy...
It will be bit of a reluctant sale but in all fairness I did build it knowing I would be selling it at some point after I had done the Manx.
It would be nice to do some more events in it this year. We shall see.
(Anyone want to advertise on a Clio stage rally car pm me lol)
I would love to do more rallies but I have ran out of cash at the moment. I will probably sell the car and do stuff with the kids instead (which was the plan before I built it)
I would like to do Mull so if I keep it and find some money I will do that, other option is to sell it and hire mates...
Don't need a main dealer to plug it in, just someone local to you with a reader to get the codes.
Someone on here will either have one or know of someone with one.
Worst is welding rusty old banger racers and having a big blob of splatter go down the front of your boots and stop on the top of your foot!
Surprising how quick you can get a boot off!
Could be a good challenge and another box to tick.
So far I have done......
Road rallies
Stage rallies
Rallycross
Sprints
Hillclimbs
Comp safaris
Landrover trials
So perhaps endurance racing is next!!
