Default HELP, i want to start sprinting (not like seb coe though!)

any help on the net for preparing acar for sprinting, rules and regs etc, my local track is curborough, its a poor website to be honest for rules and classes etc.

we just got given an XR2 mk2 today and i reckon its too good for breaking and could have some fun with it round curborough.

any help on classes and spec cars got to be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Tricky

Leave it standard. There are classes for standard motors.

Soon as you enter the modified class you will be up against the ŁŁŁ men

If you email the RAC MSA they will email you most of the details you need
Curborough is a great track, I have won outright there once

Striped out is modified road going class

K&N may still allow you to run in std road going production saloons.

Rules and regs change everywhere around the country so if your not planning to travel GB wide, then get the info from the clubs that organise events at your local circuit. They should have at least a calendar with some links to the organisers sites.
