Having enjoyed the Pistonheads sporting tour, I'd love to do something similar again - Navigational, autosolos, etc - I'd also like to take part in a targa rally, but pictures show muddied fields etc. - Are there any events that take place on concrete / hard standing? (That are doable for a complete beginner)

It doesn't need to be a perfect surface, but not breaking the car is a bonus! - My car isn't obscenely low etc, so a bumpy old airfield is no issue, as long as there are no super-sump-buster rocks.

I'm a member of Chelmsford MC / Located in Essex, so events within a reasonable distance are a good plus.

I was looking at the bonfire targa, Might get in touch to see what surface conditions will be like.

You might have missed the boat for this year, the bonfire is a very popular event.

Wingo.
It looks it, Do you have any idea what the surfaces are like? If they are reasonable, I'll see if there is room for one more to sign up.

My regular road car wobble

At the PH Sporting tour Autosolo (Courtesy of M&H Photography! tongue out )

Hence the desire to stick to tarmaced surfaces - Sounds like autosolos may be the best bet for this - As aforementioned, I don't mind a lightly gravelley or muddy few metres, but I'd rather not get stuck / wrecked - Anythig that can be washed off is fair game though!
Looking at the entry lists, It would seem the best bet is to obtain a banger, though that brings a whole load of non trivial costs given insurance etc, as trailering would be impractical / another load of costs.

Might have a look at marshalling thumbup
