Hi All,
I'm trying to get a handle on costs for the TVRCC challenge.
The regs state: The Maximum Entry Fee for each round shall be: As detailed in the SR’s for the event in question.
What are the 'SR's'?
Paperwork:
TVRCC membership £43
BARC racing membership £95
MSA National B racing license £43
MSA National entrants fee £134
TVRCC Challenge registration fee £150
Did I miss anyone? :D
Tyres:
MSA blue book approved list covers a big range. Is there any agreement between competitors as to a minimum standard of specific manufacturer or shortlist? Will tyres cost hundreds per set or are there viable cheaper alternatives for budget racing?
The car:
I've been offered a Tasmin FHC racer minus engine, box and wheels. I have a V6 Cosworth engine and have seen on the TVRCC challenge website that at least one competitor is already using this powerplant.
Would I be hopelessly outgunned and get in everybody's way if I left it at it's standard 200BHP?
Are the costs involved in tuning it prohibitive?
What would be a suitable tyre cross section for the output I need?
Thanks in advance for any advice/encouragement/injection of realism. :thumbup:

If you want to have a try I have my old tasmin available for an outing or two
I'll definitely come down to Cadwell to watch the action close up. It'd be great to dip my toe in the water, so I'd love to take you up on your kind offer.
Lets talk at Cadwell.
