New to the forum having just purchased myself a GTI-6, as pictured below.

Car 1:
Bought at a very fair price, totally standard and in pretty good nick apart from damage sustained by some attempted break-ins on both doors so probably will need some new ones. So please be prepared for a new'b after answers to silly questions!



Car 2:
Not very GTI6-esque but this is the fruits of about three years labour now between my dad and myself.



Some of you may have come across the 'build a sports car for

Is that a Ford CVH engine?

Nice cars btw

Yup, its a CVH. A 1600 in a relatively mild state of tune.

It all gets a bit confusing formula wise. We're running in the Kit-car class which is for pretty much any kit car (though its mainly strikers/pheonixs/furys/westfields) with a few different engine options.

There is also a Locost forumla, for chassis' like we have, which have to run on a ford crossflow engine and full cage. The chassis has to stick almost exactly to the chassis design in the book mentioned above and it's basically a one-make formula.

You can run a locost in kits aslong as the chassis and suspension adheres to the locost formula regs with any of the allowed kits engines. You may ask why not run in the locost formula. Well by the time we'd decided to give it a shot racing rather than just use it on the road we'd got a bit for to change what we'd done with the engine and roll-cage etc so stuck with the kits.

If you weren't confused before you will be now!

Ah well thats another confusing problem to people not familiar with the club. 750 is the name of the club, originating from the single formula it used to have 60 years ago. Now it has about 13-14 different formulas.

I'd suggest to anyone that likes a bit of motorsport to get along and watch a meeting sometime. The racing tends to be brilliant!
