Drive to the circuit.....race.....drive home?
Discussion
Morning chaps and chapesses,
I thought I would try and glean from the oh so knowledgeable ones on here..........
Are there still any series' out there that is a viable option to drive to the circuit, race and then drive home again (all being well )?
I know that the Caterham Acadamy is one of them but I can't do that as I have a National B.
Any ideas? I know it's a bit of a long shot!

Loads of series' have classes for road going cars. I thought I would try and glean from the oh so knowledgeable ones on here..........

Combe special GTs (class D IIRC)
LMA Euro Saloons
What are you intending to race? You'll need a full cage, properly mounted seat, and in-date belts, plus the kill switch and plumbed in ext, etc.
So long as the car is road legal, you don’t necessarily have to run in a road going class. You can carry a set of race wheels tyres with you, and swap over at the circuit.
I used to do this in the late 80’s in a 911, arrive on road tyres, swap onto the racing tyres, do the race, swap back, go home. I always made it home!
If you have limited space in your car though, either a small trailer with detachable towing eye, or a mate with another vehicle is useful

Many thanks for your replies guys and some great suggestions have cropped up. I really like the idea of maybe somethimg classic (Midget et al) although the most obvious one is the Elise Trophy as young Kevin mentioned.
I could even run the Elise as my daily road car if need be as I have been doing 25k per annum in various Loti over the years...........

diahatsu ran in this years lma, drove there swapped wheels and sometimes drove home poor bugger
Ive seen some stock hatch cars on a frames but I think any race car has to be all 4 wheels off the ground after a meeting or your just asking for it.
Any car which is remotley competive is a going to be a complete pill to drive home in

Hi,
There are at least a dozen drive-to drive-from'ers in the PBMW championship. Possible more. Colin Tester recently won a TTRS race outright in a road driven Sierra Cosworth, and Rob Payne did the same in his E30 M3 which was built originally for 'ring use.
Elsewhere as I think has been mentioned you have some historics and I was fairly sure MX5's..
