Top gear!

[Alanapone]

Right, i'll start it off... I know your all thinking the same thing!

What were they racing in and how do I get into it?

I'm guessing an MSA licence and the car needs to be the rallycross spec as they said but what else?

Do you not need anything other than to fill that form out and send a cheque for £55?

So you don't need an MSA licence from the looks of it! lol... Thats WELL good.

Might have a go next year ;)

I'll let it dye down a bit... I bet there website crashes tonight! lol.

It did look like really good fun though... Might go and watch a few first.

Apologies,

Upon further inspection, yes you need a Speed National B license from the MSA £36

be prepared for the car to take some abusive hits.

ive been to watch once, (not sure if it was just on that day)
but there were alot of shunts

[mark1311]

basicali bomber car racing but better cars and little less abusive, entering stock hatch is cheapest, and a vts is one best cars to use, everything must be standard engine brake wise think pads are free though, no cams etc, if u fit cams you will be in the super1600 where most are wide arch 220+bhp na engine. things they didt mention on top gear is u will props use one full set of a048s in a weekend so thats neali 400 quid there.

[Alanapone]

Plus the 250 odd quid entry per race!! :( doesn't look anywhere near as cheap as they made out! 2k for the golf clubs and membership or 2k for a car and 1 race! You don't have to buy new golf racquets every game either! Lol... Good old BBC hahaha.

and your trailering, and license if you need it.

Becomes expensive quickly lol

[solvi]

for that price it seams very cheap to race over there.

[jonathon5]

I thought top gear was very misleading over costs

I cannot see anyway the cars could have been prepped for £1000

The corbeau seat alone is over £500 plus the cage etc etc

Plus a suit / boots / helmet
