Hey all

Hoping to do my ARDS within the next few months and then looking to do some National B racing this year! woohoo

This year in particular, I don't want to purchase a car but don't mind paying for arrive&drive scenarios in good races.

Something to note, i'm about 6'5 and broad shouldered so would be looking at saloons, hatch etc rather than single seaters.

Anyone recommend any, or point me in the direction of a team that may be looking for a driver in a few months?

Apart from that... a big byebye to all and hope to driving around here more often now...

edited to ask mods to move to General Motorsport - ooops, think i too a wrong turn somewhere laugh

As someone who's also 6' 5", I can assure you that most single seaters are out of the question.

Have a look at the following sites;
www.racecarsdirect.com
www.iwantadrive.co.uk
www.motorsportads.com

They all have 'drive wanted' sections so you should be able to get something from that. Britcar is probably the best value for money series in the UK, in terms of actual track time. Obviously not in a 911 though...

A lot of the Production S1 runners are solo drivers - you could try contacting them directly - just turn up to a meeting and ask lots of questions. Tell them you have your own grid girls and you should be fine...

Other series where you could look would be:
Alfa Romeo championship
Porsche 924, Michelin Classic Porsche
VW Golf GTi
Production BMW
Kumho BMW

Most of them will be run by either the BRSCC or BARC.

Good luck, have fun, and don't forget about those grid girls...
