Starting Racing.
Discussion
I am planning on starting some sort of motor racing next year. I've done Karting (years ago) and Hot Rods, but now I fancy doing some long curcuit racing. Any recommendations as to whats the most fun to race on a seriously tight budget? Open wheeler or Closed? I have some ideas and made some plans but it would be nice to hear other like-minded peoples opinions. Thanks.
Thanks everyone.Have looked at 750MC and there is a lot there. I dont have time to build a kit car and then race it, and I'm not sure I'd like to race something that wasnt professionally built. I had a look at saloons but it looks like i'll need a warehouse full of replacement panels!
I must admit I'm very taken with Formula Vee or Ford. Formula Vee appeals because of the Clubman atmosphere. FFord looks like it might be full of youngun's trying to make a name for themselves. Of course theres classic FFord....What I dont want to do is get into a car only to find that the paddock is a bit 'clicky'. If your in the 'in-crowd' your ok but they wont talk to newbys, that sort of thing. I want a friendly paddock that will help out the newby not use him as target practice! FVee sounds like this, but will I get bored with it after a while and hanker after something quicker? Will Classic FFord be a bit clicky? and expensive? Its a lot of money to spend just to find out that your racing against a bunch of dickheads!

I started racing in the Dunlop Tuscan Challenge this season and have won class C in this Tasmin with one race still to go. www.pistonheads.com/sales/102595.htm
She's a well sorted car and she has also performed well at Harewood.
So if you want a well prepped race car which has already been snagged, look no further.
It has to go to make room for the Tuscan Racer!
Make me an offer

Nice sales angle. Buying a car is not a problem. I was hoping for advice and experience on what the racing is like.
