Endurance Racing in a £200 Car. You guys would love it.

Finished making a YouTube video of the 4 hours of Lochgelly Endurance race from the end of last year. They usually run a few of them throughout the year although they are obviously postponed just now. Hope you guys enjoy.

That is absolutely brilliant! Thanks for sharing. You’ve got me interested but what would worry me is my complete lack of technical knowledge. I haven’t changed a spark plug/brake pad for about thirty years. I’d have to team up with someone better than me on these things. I’m going to look into it further as it looks epic fun.

Thanks. I'm glad you liked it. Its definitely doable even without much mechanical knowledge but you will need someone with a low loader or a car trailer.

Not sure I would want to enter a race with that much contact and two rolled cars with just a helmet and a 3 point seatbelt as safety kit.

The way the track is laid out, you aren't going to reach mega speeds. The boy in the silver Corsa that flipped crawled out and started showboating to the crowd. He was back out racing his re-shaped car almost immediately afterwards.

I wouldn't say it is safe but in my opinion, well worth the risks involved.

In my eyes, anything that allows youth tog et out there, drive competitively cheaply is a god thing. Anything like this that gets kids in cars, working on them, improving them, as long as the safety aspect is linked in to, is a great thing.

Could not agree more. The cost of entry for the lowest level 'real' racing is so expensive, these sorts of events are the only things open us.
