Sounds like an expensive way of her trying a track day, get here on a driver day first in a e90 somewhere

:finga: if your not spinning your not trying
All joking aside she is quite keen to have a go!
Maybe worth putting her in for tuition with someone else so we don't argue! :(

Thats a good shout! What the rough cost ?with Matts support and delivery its about £500-600 inc fuel (espeically if you say you are thinking of racing) and then of course factor on the vat receipt for repairing your daily drive and its about half that

I had a Clio 182 cup and loved it so can recommend one of those as a good fun cheap track car.
What happened regarding Lawsy's?
