If you are interested in getting into Rallycross please e mail me on:
jrrallyx726@yahoo.co.uk
I will then send info to you and hopefully see you on the circuit soon. |
Many thanks for putting the info together. Myself and my son have been racing radio control cars for some 14 years and after a short break started up again but soon found driving standards had not improved and after finding a set of tyres (you really need at least 3 sets per meeting to compete) was now 46 quid started to wonder if clarkson and hammond really had found a cheap motorsport (relatively)
My son if off to dubai to work for 6 months so we have 6 months to research our next move. I have a unit with a ramp and tools /compressor etc and was going to release it as it costs me 300 quid per month BUT I would like to prep basic rallycross cars with a view to funding my son having a blast in 2013.
My son has just completed building a 2 litre red top mini (but its like a bullet so not really suitable for rally cross I doubt.) and when he comes back after xmas he will be selling it and we can use this to fund our fun for next year (if all goes to plan)
I have also spent two years building a business up with a guy from 500 quid per month to £100.000 selling vinyl cutters online and he has stitched me up with my commission so I am trying to fund legal costs to get the 50 grand he owes me but scum like that usually get away with things so if all else fails I will be selling decals and signs to top up my pension so painting/welding/bodywork/race decals I will have sorted easilly, the engines I will have more problems with. Real car engines are a far cry from the Nitro engines I am used to working on lol
My question is what is the cheapest and cheapest/competitive car to use and be realistic ??
