I'm taking it to slalom competitions (similar to autotest in UK).

Also we have a speed slalom series, which is more like a ciruit time attack, but with lots of slalom elements to keep the speeds down and to keep the production cars with no FIA safety gear acceptable.

I've been to 4 races total, started in May as a complete novice. During the first event I only overtook Ladas and lady drivers, and yesterday I finished 8th overall out of 59, 4th place in the RWD2000 class. Here's the video:

I tell you, at these events I feel what's this car is meant for. Normal road driving does not even get close. Also, I'm so thrilled with the progress I'm making.

wonder if there is enough demand to set up a series/championship????

I have noooo idea how to arrange it but it must be a good way to get regular track time.


have to put strict power to wieght controls to stop it being the richest driver wins.


and lots of other control parts to get good deal with some suppliers.

I put one together with input from Saturn Sports cars to race for Teamtrain
in the north and it races in Northern sports and saloons and goes very well with 2ltr zetec quaife box and diff.

I agree very good goggles I still got my birdz goggles from my skydiving days so plan on using them when I get my second attempt built

We already have auto testing at competition level, if I remember rightly, I think the Demon Tweeks Championship run kit cars, I have seen them at Rugby truck stop a while ago. They were using strikers & westfields e.t.c. These blokes really know how to handle a car, I really want to try it, but knowing my luck I would wreck my car in front of every one ! Lol:D
