Sprinting / Hill Climbing - Advice Needed

[David87]

I'm looking to do some sprinting and / or hill climbing at some point in the near future and would just like some advice of how to go about it?

I gather you need a National B Speed Competition Licence, however I hold an ARDS National B Race licence, so I assume I'm good to go on that front, with no need for the Speed Competition Licence?

Does anyone know of any clubs around the Essex area which are good? I don't mind traveling, but one based nearby would obviously be handy!

I'll be using a Renault Mégane R26.R, which I would have thought is reasonably well suited to this kind of thing as it comes, although I guess I'd need a second set of wheels with more normal tyres, because I wouldn't have thought Toyo R888s would be allowed, would they? Would a car like this be competitive, or would I need a 500bhp Evo?

Any tips or comments are welcome! Thanks a lot,

David.
