Which cars and competitions do you recommend?

Hey,

Not sure if this is posted in the right place, if it isn't, I'm sorry :P

I used to do,a bit of kart racing when I was a lot younger and then progressed into a bit of BMW and Mini racing, but haven't really done much other than a few track days up at The Ring in the last few years. I would like to get back into competing, now I'm a bit older and have a bit more money behind me. So what competitions and cars do you recommend?

Besides Mazda MX5 racing, I'm not too fussed which car, and I have a budget of about £20,000 for car and modifications/work.

So what do you think?

A mix - a couple of ARDS instructors, a couple of old boys who have raced forever, a few karting kiddies on the way up, and then a mix of people who either care and want to do well, or just do it for fun. Top 15 is pretty tough.

Plenty of rental cars available if you just fancy dipping a toe before buying/building a car.

We're racing at Combe this weekend coming if you're local. Come and watch

Could you give me any information regarding rental of racecars? I'm in the same boat as the OP but live abroad and would love to just dip in when i am in the UK for the fun/sport.

I don't have a significant amount of race experience - is this open to all?

I second this
