Hi,
I've just moved to the area (near Redditch / Droitwich) and I'm looking for a keen mechanic or two to help pre-season and at test sessions and races in the Monoposto 1800 championship. Event entry, food, drink, accommodation (in race transporter / motorhome), and possible drives in my car (if MSA licence is held or acquired) will be the rewards for a good mechanic. You don't need to be mechanically trained ( I can do that), however knowing that most bolts and nuts tighten clockwise, being able to use a torque wrench and a stop watch should be enough to start with.
No loons or wasters please, and no one over 6 foot if you have aspirations to drive the car.

Cheers,

Phil

On the forum thread of what motorsport should be on UK TV, I think Monoposto and other grass-roots amateur racing would make great viewing, but I may be biased.

Perhaps someone could start a general thread on this theme, with geographic location detailed for each entry?

I am up the road from Martin and could do with a hand now and again. Not quite in the big league but trying...
