Track Day Cras on PH Marketplace

[filski666]

I may be being really dumb here - but in the old days - you could select "trackday" or "race/rally" car in the classifieds and find all such like vehicles

With the new system - if I put keyword "track" or "race" or whatever, it just churns out "normal" cars...any idea how I find adverts for trackday or race cars?

You are in the correct forum - it's simply that there are currently no trackday or race cars advertised.

When there are some they will each have their own thread below in this forum.

ok - thanks - surprised there isn't anything - always used to be a fair selection - even though usually stuff far too tasty for my budget!

I'll keep my eyes open

I’m not sure that’s what the OP was meaning…

In the ‘old days’ in the classifieds (not forums), along with makes/models, there were categories including ‘track cars’ and there was normally a good few pages of results across all price ranges (sub £1000 BMW E36 drift cars to £50,000+ full rally cars)
How do I access this in the classifieds? Thanks.

P.s. in the old days, selling through the forums was banned, (and any links to cars for sale were quickly removed) - has that changed now as well?

Any categories other than cars were removed from the classifieds.

In their place were put the 'Marketplace' forums, and the Rules of Posting updated to allow advertising in these forums only.

Thanks for the reply.

That feels a real shame, and another example of where, in the process of PH’s growth and evolution to mainstream it has lot many of the ‘enthusiast’ features that made it popular in the first place.

Pistonheads Classified is a shadow of its former self. I've sold a couple of Brian James car trailers via PHC in the past and there were always many interesting competition cars for sale.

Fortunately Race Cars Direct is a worthy alternative: https://racecarsdirect.com/Category

Definately a lack of track day cars advertised at the minute ? I guess people sell them at the end of the year, and people get theirs ready in the spring.
Looked across Ebay/FB marketplace/Gumtree - not a lot about - anywhere else ?
