Took a bit of a different direction and decided to sell my red M3, and I am going to build an M3 Cup Car from scratch. I don't really want to split my red one as I feel it's a bit of a waste rather somebody gets the use out of it with all the decent parts on it. To change it to M3 Cup spec requires alot of work due to modifications I have fitted.
I want to build the shell to a good racing standard and then if I ever go off M3 Cup then I just unbolt the controlled modifications and put some decent stuff on it but at least the shell itself can be used in whatever application. I think it will be too light for M3 Cup so I might (I hope) I have to put ballast in then I can remove it if I want to race in other series.
Work/deciding to build a car too late/rollcage delays due to being start of race season means I'm going to miss at least 2 of the races, I'm hoping to make the June round as it's Brands Indy so a circuit I raced alot last year which might be handy for my first round. But at the moment I can't get a cage delivered until 2nd April due to them being so busy supplying at this time of year.
So the build has ground to a halt at the moment
The M3 Cup ticked the boxes for me as racing last year in a series where the classes were poorly controlled (IMO) meant being classed with a 400bhp+ Clio Cup Car with uprated sequential box etc, I could drive the wheels off my car but he would just get to any straight and pull away effortlessly. So I wanted to race an M3, I wanted close/even racing and I don't have the mega budget for Kumho racing, so M3 Cup ticks the boxes. I hope it's as good as it looks and I think close racing will bring my driving on alot more as if somebody is pedalling their car alot better than me when we are in theory in more or less the same car, then I know I have to get some serious tuition in.
