racing how to start

[gerrym]

Try a Carlimits day first to see if you are any good!

Buy a 'go-racing' pack from MSA, Demon Tweeks, etc. Get yourself a medical, go and take your test... send off for your licence. Go race...

YES, it is that easy... I did it!

I am sure there is more to the question, so I will make a comment as & when it appears :-)

ps...

My first ever drive of a car on a circuit was part of the ARDS test package... 2nd time was in my own car at a test day at Pembrey followed by my first race the next day... total time span was about 4weeks :-o

You don't have to be 'good' to go racing, it is a learning curve and the more time you spend on track under racing conditions and in testing, following fellow competitors, the better you get.

(although I would strongly recommend having some form of instruction early on as the longer you leave 'bad habits' the harder they become to remove them!)

Did you ever get the hang of it ;-)

Nah... I just got lucky and after the first four wins the main opposition decided to change class, would one of those be MikeW :-)

Getting the hairdryer sorted (going from 120 volts to 240), then we'll see old Lardy get a good stuffing!
Obviously I am a driving God so it must be the car at fault when I could not keep with you!

How to start?
Faster than the rest of the grid i'd say.....
