Mazda MX5 racing

Shimster,

Golf Mk2 Championship? We've been at quite a few of the same meetings as the Mazdas with MSVR this year. Golfs are more fun to race in my opinion - the amount of oversteer you can get away with in a front wheel drive car is just obscene. Golfs have a got great following - definately less gay than the hairdresser MX5's

. Similar race costs for engines, brakes, tyres, entry fees etc etc. Also - you don't get wet when it rains!

Both are very competitve series being one make championships - just make sure that you have some contingency for when it all goes wrong one day. Don't know where you're based, but we have our final 2 races at Snet this weekend - should be a good show. Drop me a pm if you want to come along and have a chat - I'll be able to sort some spare passes if you need.

Simon

Simon, thanks just not a good weekend to get away also at Snett the week after withmy bruvs caterham academy (im not too far away, hertfordshire)

I think one of the reasons was rear wheel drive requirement (hence why a few other series were binned!

The golfs in the MSV Trophy go very well, seem reliable as no turbos allowed!

Got a mate looking out for a mk1 - prob 1.6 - does he want a Eunos instead of a UK one then?

Any pointers/best sites/tips appreciated (apart from telling him to get a mans car, we've done that one) ;-)

chs!
