The main use my car gets is at castle combe as its the only track that I can do in a day and feel like it was a relaxing day out, snetterton would actually mean I would need to take a day off work for the 3 days that it would take me! Trailer there for 7 hours, race the car the next day, then trailer back the 7 hours the day after, sure i could make that 2 days at a push, but it wouldnt feel like fun it would feel like a chore.
I'd love to do a race series at some point but if I do it will be one based at combe.
Ive nothing against N/A cars, Ive certainly had more N/A trackday cars over the years than most people on here have probably(ive got the clio and the corsa still now dont forget as well) but these days I dont see the point when its so expensive compared to using a turbo for the same power.
I'll only make my clio 250-275bhp probably with a turbo lump, which of course could be done N/A but it couldnt be done reliably for 2 grand like it can on a turbo, itwould be more like 10 grand and forever needing a new set of slipper pistons thrown at it and yet another rebuild!
If I do a race series that involves visting far away tracks, I'll just buy an already competitive mighty mini racer off someone getting out of the sport and do it that way.
