I would welcome some advice please. smile
Intend to compete in hillclimbs & sprints next year, mainly in the SW, to start with I fancy a saloon & am trying to decide on what to go for,
Ideally i would prefer something that is capable of a class win (driver permitting!), had intended to look for a sorted clio but they seem to suffer as most events seem to run roadgoing class split at over 1800 to 2600 down here.

Is there still a small engine class?
An AX Gt will have a good chance of winning its class, this is my former championship winning car in the ASWMC Sprint Championship up to 1400cc class. It's got quite a good spec don't be put off by running a small engine! Might be for sale in a couple of weeks if the new car comes to fruition.

At only 700 kg they have a big advantage = low weight good handling lots of grip and very tuneable.

There is indeed a up to 1400 cc class, I guess that's a possibility! Might be interested at the right price wink

The class structure down here makes little sense to me to be honest, it's only going to get worse with all the new 1.6 turbo cars now, they'll dominate in a year or two when values drop.
I'm coming to that conclusion eek
