At least it's not sponsored by injurylawyers4u.com or whatever!

Aren't those Lancia Delta wheels, though? Not very attractive in white, but...

I bet that's quite nippy really. Especially in its class.

It's not all about engine mods.

As this is a race car, there will be certain criteria it has to meet in order to complete in it's desired class. £3k might be a little of the steep side perhaps, but the cage and the other work required to make it meet FIA standards all adds up. Depending on the model of that seat, it could be a £700 seat alone, add the cage, Omex ECU (I think that's what it is) and you're bumping up the price of a standard 75 straight away.

You can't just buy a GT and enter it into a race, there's certain safety requirements to must meet.

Indeed, the rules and regulations these days, albeit with good intentions, are driving up the price of 'grass roots' racing.

In't days of yore, when I were but a little sprat, my step-father was a photographer on the Brisca stock car circuit. Now, that was grass roots racing; a bloody great engine, a custom built chassis/roll cage, a harness and a steering wheel. Fantastic!

We once went to Frankie Wainman Snr's farm, where I got to look at his motors, and actually sat in one. Basic, but functional; no computer bollocks, just what was necessary, and no more.

True, didnt think of that but its still a huge price, maybe 2k tops.
