I raced mx5s with Shimmy Racing last year and I can guarantee that there is no closer or fun race series available and the fact that it is relatively cheap is a bonus. 58 cars on the grid at Silverstone....

52 max, actually was 49 only:-D but still queuing down to the COmplex

[s.mac]

depends what you call cheap Terry. I didn't think I would spend half as much as I have :bigcry: and there's something that needs repairing after every meet in the XR Challenge :banghead: which just adds to the long bill

In the early stages of looking into some 'Club' motorsport, nothing to serious just good value for money fun. Had a chat with Shim regarding the Mazda MX5's. :beer:

Will keep doing the TD's in the CSL just fancy the 'thrill of the race'
Any ideas? :whistle:

I like the sound of this! Keep the rules simple so no scope for 'biggest wallet wins' run road tyres to keep the cost down. Would like to think cica 10k would give you a good car ready to race!

Interesting :thumbs:

[billyboysm3]

Shimmy i reckon you've got enough spare parts stashed away ready for this, all you need is the car.

[shimmy]

Hi :thumbs:

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


I ran out of money before i started buidling mine :-D,

[_Nathan_]

in the end, people have run out of money and then can't afford to race the damn thing

Hi :thumbs:

[thegingerninja]

yeah pretty much agree with the ninja pity thorney cocked it up the first time around :whistle:myself I think you can keep things pretty simple it doesnt have to be too expensive, first of all you can use a road legal trackday tyre like the yoko ad08 which comes with 8mm of tread depth so it can be used in the dry and the wet and is approx 2 seconds a lap slower than a cup but will last 2-3times longer. So which would appeal to the road/trackday guys who dont want to buy an extra set of wheels, keep the car on standard wheels (get a set on ebay for £100) as regards suspension you need top mounts KW and Billstein do a none ajustable set for approx £1000, only upgrade the front brakes KSport do a set for approx£1000. Standard rear brakes are okay with upgraded pads, usual thing like bushes upgraded, weights 1400 kgs fuelled up and if you want to run adjustable front suspension and ap's front and rear the car has to weigh 1450 kgs, so here you go things can be run on a budget all the above is really to get guys who are doing trackdays and still race in a road legal car, two races a day both 30mins one or two drivers to keep the cost down

Here a list of entrants
