Yep i'll be starting out this year with a 205. Have been to a few races in Mondello as a spectator but decided i'd take the plunge this year!

Any advice/tips greatly appreciated!

Put bumper rails on !!! Only messing just start at back of grid and get used to car for the first few meetings . You will only get in trouble with top drivers if you tangle and id say you will probably come offthe worst.

Also ask to be put in a grid with drivers your own standard. It makes better racing .....

Good Luck

Welcome it's great to see new faces getting involved and good luck. Yeah take back grid positions just ask the dummy grid marshalls and they will allow you start from the back that way you can learn the car and track at your own pace and dont try and go flat out from the word go build up your speed gradually to get used to the whole thing.

& enjoy

Finally me and the aul man will be out in the Xsara...its been a long time coming. Cant wait to get back into it! Wont be entering Pembrey due to funds.

I'l be doing the first round in mondello on my own as the aul man is recovering from a broken bone in his foot, he will be back out for the 7th November.

[vincenzolorenzo]

Great, thanks for the tips lads. I was just wondering what the story is with transponders? Are they dear to hire each weekend? Or would I be better off to just buy one?

[Ramah]

You are better off buying one. It's better that spending money to hire each event & if your anything like me you will forget to return it and leave your licence behind as well
