That might be worth a look first?
If you do have £10k sponsorship buy one of the cars mentioned previously, do your ARDS & hit the track!

So your budget is 20k but you can't afford to spend 3.5k on a car. This is like when someone goes on dragons den and doesn't know their own numbers!

Motorsport is not a poor mans game to be honest David, when I worked for the NHS , the regional IT director raced a 924 in some sort of league and it cost him too much money.

Easy mate put on ramp or axle stands, take handbrake cable out bottom, (both sides), loosen all 4 bolts(i put 2 spare tyres under hubs) take bolts out and let drop into tyres rather simple tbh

sadly not dude, he seems to basically be doing everything on the super cheap, then complaining when we tell him not to do it on the cheap!
