I’m going to see if I can do harewood hill next year, I know you need an MSA license and you will need FIA approved helmet, gloves and suit. Plus you will have to follow from a list for which group you fall into depending on exterior and interior body mods.

Full interior 1B tyres . standard silhouette 1D or no interior 3C .. have done harewood for circa 14 years.

i scrutineer a few sprints and hills a year ,my best advise starting out is especially sprinting ,drive ANYTHING your dailys best ,make sure you kits right first, then gain experience about what does what and what goes where and when,driving something you knows going to get you to and from with no need for a tow vehicle and trailer ,rather than messing around worrying about your car
daft as it seems my pal whos also a scrutt sprinted his old audi quattro last year ,in the rain on god knows what rubber he had a riot all day and set the fastest , 0 to 64 feet time ,that day in his daily
racing is another thing all together best bet is find some one you know and go and help them youll learn loads

Thanks lads that's gave me a starting point will have to check out what class I will be in as it's healthy modifications to the engine and tag along with someone to see what's what and get a better idea what's needed [emoji106][emoji106]

Plenty of sprints and hill climbs in Scotland. Kames is a good starter sprint track in East Ayrshire and Forrestburn hillclimb nearer yourself (between Edinburgh and Glasgow) is a belter of a track.

Easy to get started, as above all you need is a national b licence (just applied by post), basic safety kit for yourself (FIA approved suit, helmet and gloves) plus some minor mods to the car (timing strut, stickers, tow hooks).

Hi Gaz I did quite a few mods over last winter, sequential box, e throttle, bigger brakes, different springs etc, not had it out much this year to get everything working together properly, almost there now tho
