Hey guys and gals,
So iv been saving up for a while to but a car the end of 2015 and i recently decided that id like to look at getting into sprinting or hillclimb events.
Iv done a few trackdays before and iv owned a few mx5's, civics and 1 e36.
Iv been looking to buy somthing different to what iv already owned, clio 172, pug 106 gti 206 gti? Kitcar?
My question is- for instance if i brought a clio 172 cup, stripped ot out with bucket seats, polybushed with coilovers. Would i be in an over 2.0l modified class and get my ass handed to me? Would still be road legal and used to go to the shops twice a week.
Would i be better staying in a lower cc class?
Hope this isnt noob questions i am attending a local club meet this weekend (my first ever just to get a feel for it) but thought id ask a bigger audience smile
Thanks

Thats great dude.
I just dont think it would be fun at all to compete in a 100% bog standard car.
Where are you from bud? I read on another forum the rules change from region to region dont know how true that is lol

WOW thanks for all the info guys. Will download a copy of the blue book now and have a read through.
Hopfully should answer all my questions. Going to sighn up to that uphillracers forum aswell, seems a good place to mooch for info.

Still undecided on what car to buy. Think it may be best to have a lurk around a few other peoples cars and see whats what.
