Toyo Tyres PBMWC team recommendation

[BertBert]

I am looking for team recommendations. I am helping a friend who wants to see if he will enjoy racing by working up to it via trackdays and instruction.

He aspires to have a BMW track car, so I have hit on the idea of him going towards the PMBWs. He can spend a season...get a car, do some track days, get ards and and enter into a race or two. If it works out fab, if not he can stop and sell the car (or keep it and still do track days).

So I am looking for team recommendations ideally in the middle of the country (nottingham way ish). They will take him under their wing, help source a car, prep it, take it to track days and run it, provide a good instructor and be nice! He (like me) is an older guy, early sixties, reasonable funds (without being silly), will respond well to intelligent tuition!

So any team recommendations please?

Thanks

I went to see Gary today with the friend I am scouting for. Very impressive, proper setup and Gary is great. Very friendly and genuine and perfect for my friend.

Saw your car Dave, looks good on the flesh.

Wish I was having a go, but there's only so much you can do in a season. Quite fancy a z4 though!!

Thanks again for everyone's help.

My friend got a car, but is taking it slowly
He's doing track days with tuition first, I'm trying to get him to go for ARDS and at least a first race this year!
