Having passed my medical earlier this week I was able to complete my application for a National B Race Licence, which is obviously a big step towards going racing, and this afternoon I spent a pleasant few hours in the garage fitting a fully plumbed in FEV fire extinguisher kit, the new TRS 4 point harness, removing the passenger seat & wiper motor to save a few kilos, and fixing the rear lights. All jobs successfully completed, next thing to do think about is a dyno test to see how many horses have escaped, but also to work out which class it will fall into.
The 750 Motor Club have finally got their 2014 regulations out, copy of which can be found here. While the Sport Specials offers a superb mix of circuits, the championship is held over 7 2-day weekends throughout the year and so requires a fair level of commitment to participate at every event in both time & money. The upside is a superb organising club, great coverage, an interesting mix of cars, and circuits I really want to race at.
However, I am contemplating another series that has recently come out the woodwork, apparently being sanctioned by the British Automobile Racing Club (BARC) and loosely labelled "Front Engined Open Sportscar Series". The rules are more liberal, allowing forced induction and higher power to mass ratios than the 750MC Sport Specials, and I would expect the field to include a strong field of high powered Caterhams and Westfields; my Veeteor LSR would even be allowed which gives me some dangerous thoughts for the future...
The series of one off events are being planned at Rockingham, Lydden Hill, Brands Hatch Indy, Donington Park, & Thruxton, and with 2 races on a single day makes for a slightly more economic proposition. So now I have to choose whether to do one series or the other, or a bit of both, which is a nice decision to have to make. Hmm...strokes chin...
