Racing an RX8?

[bltamil1]

Hi Guys,

I'm a new poster to the racing area of the forums, and would like a couple of opinions on my latest wheeze.

Together with a couple of mates, I am looking to start racing, and have come up with the idea of doing it in an RX8. I had one as a road car a couple of years ago, and loved the neutral handling and power delivery, plus it had decent brakes as standard, plus a reasonable LSD at the back. The plan would be to start in some beginner races (Trackday Trophy or similar), then possibly onto CSCC Modern Classics, but the ultimate aim would be the VLN in a couple of years and eventually have a crack at the ADAC 24h a couple of years after that.

We haven't got bottomless pockets but we wont have to scrape by either, and are not looking to take home barrow loads of trophies. It's all about taking part and getting on with a long held desire to go racing before I get too old!

Obviously, the above plan might be complete nonsense, so I'm throwing it out there for a bit of a sanity check from more learned minds than my own!

Any advice/comments/ridicule will of course be gratefully received.....

Thanks for the replies.

I'll take a look at the CSCC series I think, it always looks like it has big fields and some good racing.

Longer term we would love to go over to Germany in the VLN, but if things go well we may end up with a completely different machine by then!

Now to find a suitable donor......
