How to get started in Rallycross. (If you've seen it on Top Gear and are interested!)

[Mrwillson]

Hi All,

I'm currently looking at getting into Rallycross. I've got quite a few question about lots of different things. Like should a beginner always start in StockHatch?
If so I'd be looking to buy a new car. Possibly 106 gti or Saxo Vtr. What can you recommend?

I currently drive a Cliosport 2L. Would it be worth converting this? Or would the 2L class be too expensive and too much for me to handle as a beginner?

I also have a lot of questions about getting the car to the events. Am I going to need to buy a van and a trailer? Could I use an A frame?

Any questions answered would be appreciated. Even a number for a contact of someone official or very knowledgable.
