Done a drivers experience at knockhill today in a legends car, fuck me I'm hooked ! Absolutely loved it , did a few laps in a new seat Leon first with an instructor and sun was shining and all was good , as soon as I got in the legend it started hosing it down big time , thing was proper fun sliding it about the track , was only a few folk there so empty track but I was the only person in a legend everyone else were in single seaters but they were spinning off everywhere and driving like total fannys , going to book another one soon and prey for good weather but was still awesome even in the torrential rain, anyone on here race them ? Just curious to how much a season costs, found a few for sale on line for between 8-10k for the full set up minus trailer

 

sound one does look fun

 

Love the gear changes in them with the bike gearbox , closest ill ever get to drive a racing car with a sequential shift, so fun going up and down the gears , really fun in the wet but still controllable I was sliding it about no problem , not as if there was any other legends to race lol

 

nice easy cheap way to start

 

my mate does it and i'm sure he said its worked out at about 1700 quid a weekend so far this year for everything fuel /entries/someone running him inc damage/repairs etc it will depend if you run it yourself and buy one or hire it on a race basis with a team running you.
Its defo not as cheap as he first thought.

 

Definitely much cheaper than say the fiesta st championship or building a compedeitive car for the Scottish saloons , to hire a car over a weekend is 1200 including race entry fees , would go halves with my brother and share the driving and costs but would only do the odd weekend as we're both away with work a lot, might seem a lot , 10k for a race car that's only used occasionally but fuck I've got a 12+k sierra I hardly use so may as well spend it on something that gives me 100% more satisfaction than having an expensive cossie shaped garage ornament

 

my other mate does the st championship and i dont think thats as dear tbh. buy a car for 8k and hes only put left front tyres on,pads and a front bumper all year i think......he might have fitted a new exhaust in search of some waft....he kinda runs it himself and hasnt had much to do car wise really.

 

Still fancy buying a legend tho, will never afford a full season but would be mad on a dry track with a full field of cars, I wander if you'd be allowed to take them on track at track days?
