Hi all,
With progress being made on my car with the aim of having it completed by the end of the year, Ive started looking into club racing, am I right in thinking it's categorised by power/weight ratio? If so, what are the categories?
Cheers
PugLee

Well I did want to do circuit, but from what I can make out the highest hatchback category is 250bhp/ton.

I'll have to do more homework on it me thinks! I'd like to break the 500 threshold so I'll have to wait and see when the cars done. Otherwise I'll give time attack a go

You really need to look at different series. Different series class in different ways. Some will allow any modifications, others are quite strict.
I think it's the Track Day Challenge that Dan Abbit (of Abbit Motorsport) who is on here races in. One of my other mates whos a ford boy also races in it and they class by power to weight ratio.
