Hi my names carl, me and my dad compete in grass roots motorsport, we compete in Autotests which involves precision driving round a course layed out with cones, we also compete in sprints, track days, and road rallies it was always my dream to become a racing driver but budget and opportunities were slim so I started Redtop Racing and our fanbase has now reached over 790 on facebook thanks

Not too bad really as I can insure it on a classic car policy

Yeah its great fun I just love how universal it is I can do a track day then I could do a grass autotest or a road rally or a sprint or anythink if anybody has every wanted to do motorsport but thought its too expensive trust me its not you just need to look for the right kind of motorsport for your budget.

Yeah my list is going to be pretty long lol Just hoping to get an idea of which companies to try first, will certainly be on a classic policy Previous policy was £80 a year with bike carbs, reprofiled cam, and wheels declared, there is a lot more now though so any pointers to understanding brokers would be helpful |

Nice power to weight by the way Hmmm - Not quite finished yet although it won't look like a monza any more..... 3.7 24V engine next with triple 55 Webers - 300 bhp (aiming for a little more but happy with 300) Reduce weight further - target 1100 kgs And try not to park this one on it's roof............ |
