Arrive and Drive 2017

[Robjburnham]

Hi everyone,

I'm after a bit of information if you would all be so kind - this is my first post so please bear with me!

Mysel and a frind are after some arrive and drive experiences after passing our test earlier this year and are looking at all our options but are well aware that there are some good and not so good places to start.

We have been given some excellent tutorageso far and hope this may continue with insight into the motorsport world but any advice would be very much welcome.

We are looking at two driver series and not top end costs and something where everyone races in a good, honest sportmanlike manner whist trying to do the best they can.... Is that aksing too much? We accept that as novices we will not necessarily be 'up front' but would equally not want to just be an observer.

Any help/advice would be much appreciated as we seek to embark into the motorsport world!

Thanks a lot

Thanks everyone for all your help, really appreciated.

In answer to some of the questions;
- Yes we would like to do it together but possibly a car share over a weekend may be a more suitable alternative that a 40 min race however the idea of the 40min race is where we were heading.
- We have a budget of c£1,500 per race
- The Puma racing looks the kind of thing we were thinking (as does the Lotus albeit i think that maybe more money than we can afford)

Thanks a lot

Thank you all for your comments, really appreciated.

Our preference would be towards the hatch car racing such as Clio, Mini, 750MC Roadsports and the like and the Puma racing looks just the type of thing we're after.

Cost wise, our understanding is that this type of racing will be more in line with our budget but also the single seater racing is perhaps a bridge too far for our 1st season. Once we get into it then it maybe that type of racing is the next stage.

Any other help and comments really appreciated.

Best regards

As novices, the phraseology of running round in a pack is about where we're at.

Ideally we'd like to be competitive and winning but for now just being there and getting the feel is enough.

Thanks again and any other help/comments much appreciated.
