I could do with some advice on the best series to have a go at racing in.

Background is I've been doing track days for a few years now. I started off with a bog standard MR2 Roadster which over the years has been modified to suit track use. Ive always done stuff to circuit racing standards but not given any thought to any class regulations.

I would love to have a go at racing but seem to have limited my options with some of the mods I've made.

The car is a 2001, the engine has been swapped for a 2zz-ge which is the same capacity but was never available in the MR2. I've also replaced suspension with coilovers and the rear suspension is adjustable and rose jointed. Cage, extinguisher, cut off etc has all been done properly.

What I've ended up with is great fun but is too old for any of the classic races and too messed with for any MR2 series.

I think I could do Trackday Trophy or 750mc Roadsports? Would these be a good start for someone with more enthusiasm than talent? My main aim is to find a friendly bunch of people where I can just enjoy having a go at racing.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the suggestions so far! And Hi Miles (small world as they say)

750mc Roadsports was the one that caught my eye, seeing as I would be a team of one, how is it racing for a 40min stint?

I hadn't seen the CNC Heads series before, I like the fact it's all based in the North that would work well for me living in Manchester. Would that series be alright for a novice? There looks to be some really serious cars running! They are at Oulton in October might go and have a look.
