Which race car?

[Thurbs]

I guys, I have just completed the sale of some share capital and I have some cash I want to burn doing some saloon car racing!!

I have done lots of research and attended quite a few meetings and believe that a sesion of 750mc Roadsports or CSCC is probably what I want to go for. I like the idea of endurance racing where the dash to each apex is not done leaning on your opponents door to help you get around. Stock Hatch etc is not where I want to be.

I have a budget of up to £30k, but want to spend something around £20k, ideally less than 350bhp so it is eligible for the roadsports. Note, this is total budget for the car, including any prep to convert and or bring it up to safety specs. Some options I have looked at already include:

I have also considered converting one of these, but am not sure what kind of budget it would be to put in a cage, cut off and extinguisher.

Any others I should consider? Feel free to pitch your own car if you have it for sale here or via PM.

Thanks guys.

Lots to concider... I am erring on the side of classics to be honest, but parts supply is a worry + they tend to be more expensive.

Thanks guys.

Managed to pass my ARDS yeaterday, medical in 10 minutes and then time to go shopping. I will let you know what I go for.

Thanks all for the advise. I went and looked at quite a few and in the end opted for a Renault Clio 182 which has raced in the 750mc Clio Cup this year.

Looking forward to Saturday now, especially as my passes have just arrived!

Anyone in the 750mc Clio Cup championship?
