Might be worth buying a drive in VLN or CHC first to see if you like it - apparently it's not eveyone's cup-of-tea, and very different to burning round during a Touristenfahrt. Also this will put you in contact with the right guys who do N24, and get your face known, so if a drive comes up they know who you are & that your are interested, and can be trusted to get their car round without mishap.
Must admit having watched this year I am very tempted myself, but I'll stick to doing a few CHC rounds next year if i can get enough signitures first.

Right, OK thanks for the advice.
How would I get in touch with someone "in the know"?
What I was thinking if I did intend to build my own car, was a 1996 BMW 325 which I have seen go for about £1200. I figure fitting a
new engine would cost £1200,
exhaust £200,
sports brakes & wheels & tyres £1500,
roll cage £500?,
strip out all the interior, make it as light as possible.
I figure if I spend about £4-6K on a car that would be OK.
But your probably right with wanting to try out a race first.
How much does it cost approx for a race seat?
