It's a dangerous place to be when starting out with no experience, for you, but more so for all the others out on track. Maybe a good idea to do some MGs On Track track days with a proper instructor if you haven't already done so.

why not come up to MG Live in June at Silvestone, it's the MGCC annual event, and it's a race weekend, with many ZRs and some ZS competing in different race category's. Have a chat with some of the race guys and girls (but not just before or after practice / qualy / race/ scrutineering etc. I am sure that they will have time for you. Use it as an information gathering and learning excercise. Several from MGCC racing have gone on to bigger race series ( read much bigger budgets) including BTCC http://www.mgcc.co.uk/trophy/ex-trophy-stars/


Start small all and slowly and grow as your ability and budget allows

just my advice, as a frustrated racer myself (lacking both talent and budget) so I have marshalled and now photograph it instead (for MG Motor UK, MGCC and TSCC)

even just oust marshalling you will be in a position to learn a lot
Do you know what your right very right and the 260 members as well.

The only experience I have is driving a Rover 25 on the track which I did do a lot of work on.
Did about 3 track days, nothing competitive and did have sought of a lesson, when Brain was still around with his Jag XJ6.
That's really and I don't have a racing licences at all.

I'd like to race in an MG brand car, or a Ford split loyalty's there.

The link looks really cool, Didn't know they did that.

Sounds like something I can focus on.

Regards to marshalling how do Get into that. ?
