Roadster racing
 
I know there's been some discussion about this before, but are there any new plans on a series dedicated to Roadsters?

Its pretty unlikely. There are only 8ish cars on the road. Each one more unique than the last :D It would be pretty hard to homologate those. I don't think anyone has even come up with anything resembling a specification to pass the scrutineers. The best you could hope for are some loose classes based on power, weight and after market parts and have a trackday.

Ask the 750 Motor Club, the more requests they get the better :)

It might be possible to enter the "Kit car" class

Cheers

Chris:)

Would be kind of cool to have a "modified" series and "unmodified" - unmodified being that it must come from the donor car so you're limited to Pinto, CVH or the V6 engines and modified would be do whatever you like. :D

So I mailed the 750MC - looks like it's unlikely that the Locost series will be extended to the Haynes Roadster in the near furture :( More likely to see changes to the Ron Champion book spec (like engine and gearbox) apparantly...

Ummmm enter the Kit Car class on mass then they have to offer a Roadster series then ..............:D

I'm up for this racing malarky cos that means plenty bit smashed bodywork...:cool: And maybe the chance of doing the 'glass in "race weight";)

Wouldn't it be possible to race in the 'all comers' class of the 750MC?

No problem as long as the car is built to the msa regs for the series, there has been a few sva'd now so that helps with the entry of the Roadster. The RGB lets you run "prototypes" if you like but might have changed.
