tell him to stop wasting his time and money.

we already have far too many race series in the uk and a lot of them have grids that are too small.

and smart cars are utter crap in almost every respect, I've had loads of them and its probably the last thing I'd recommend someone using on a track.

Or is this just a wind-up?

nope not a wind up, they are tuned to 130bhp full suspension built and designed by leda, backing from brabus and dunlop.

he's to far in to it now to back out lol

also all of the other series are 20 plus grand per year, this series is 7 grand per year

Costs £18k for the car! Be better off starting with examples are few years old rather than having to buy brand new.

Can run in MX5 Cup with the new Mk3s for that!
