So you think racing is too expensive, think again.

Yeah ... I guess so. I'm not sure if I have to get out the car when on a single driver ... I'll find out on the 16th May

I think you do (get out then get back in again) from what i remember reading in the SR (however this was over 2 years ago now). So dont fancy the Tricolore Trophy then?

Ummm well that is the question really ... Honestly I'd rather commit money to the mitchelin road series in a 197 and then use the car to race in other series like the MSV and Tricolore & 750club. I think the best combination is (for me personally) the road series and ad-hoc msv races ... The car (197) has the full potential to win in each series[emoji12]

Which 206 Gti is used? 137 or 180 version?

They only ever sold 7 gti 180's ever LOL

 

[sonny172cup]

Yes the 197 series does look good actually.

 

[JoeMarano]

I wish I could do that. Think I'd be good at that one

Oddly ... Only 7 cars were entered / raced at Rockingham on the 11th so not big numbers ... Also at £1800 entry fee it's a bit pricey !!!!
Nevertheless, at approx £9k for a race ready car I'd be happy with that ...

£1800!! kin hell.

 

[Steven_K]

Well ... I made a boo boo. The clio cup race series is £1800 (old x85 cup racers) but cleverly listed as £1200+vat if registered before March.
The road series is £720+vat (£864)

 

[Steven_K]

.... Just read teams average budget of £35k for the cup series eek

 

[Tony Hunter]

Tricolore much cheaper lol.
