That's not racing then?
Not sure. A couple of friends bringing their own cars and possibly setting lap times/competing etc within their own beginner limits might be considered as a form of 'racing'. It definitely would be on a public road. If not then please enlighten me?

If you really want to do that kind of thing then you need to go to a proper test day, where you will be getting in the way of actual racing cars (and indeed your own car will need to be race prepared) and will be spending much, much more than £100. But this is all kind of immaterial as even an evening session on a normal track day usually comes in at more than that amount.
Short answer : go to your nearest kart track if you want to compete, otherwise the answer to the question posed is essentially : no.

No timing allowed on trackdays.....even covertly by mates on the pit wall IIRC>
Can you suggest any track days? Saw Bedford autodrome for about £150 which isn't bad. What does 'open pit' mean? Not racing, but driving against the clock - Autosolo/Autotest.
Many small motor clubs organise these on car parks at weekends, and you get as many runs around the course as daylight and the m=number of competitors allows,for about £20. (?)
Massive fun, no licence, no safety gear, no modifications.

What about sprinting
National B non race licence at around £30
Some of the airfield events used to be around £70 and you can use your every day road car
I just looked that up. Is it the same as hill climbing? If so, it tells me what I need to do to my car to enter but it also says I need to be invited. How can I set myself up for an invitation? Do you know any car clubs that do this?National B non race licence at around £30

Can you please suggest some clubs as an example? Will an ordinary car club for a specific car do these? ThanksMany small motor clubs organise these on car parks at weekends, and you get as many runs around the course as daylight and the m=number of competitors allows,for about £20. (?)

Same local clubs tend to organise the sprints, autotest and autosolo's
Where abouts are you based, I'm sure people can recommend a club near you
