i was just wondering how to start off, i have been given some advice to start off by attending sprints. is this a good idea? should i do this for this year, and then next season enter the 750 stock hatch?
also, on the subject of cars. i absolutely love peugeots, and i was wondering what the pros and cons are of the 106 and the 205.
sorry to ask so many questions
thanks

Hi Dave,
I have a lot of time for the 750 MC. They have a lot of experienced racers who are always more than helpful. However the Stock and Hot Hatch championships have a lot of younger more inexperienced racers and as such I wouldn't recommend any new starter entering those champs.
It is a cheap way to start but by the time you've changed the shell up to three times in a season you may as well have gone to the CTCRC and competed for a season in Mini or something similar.
I know I am biased (I race, when I can, in Group 1) but if you are going to go racing I'd recommend spending a bit more and doing it in a Championship where there are young and (as with me) old drivers all competing together. That way you get a better insight into what's happening.
Have a look here

We run a Pre 90 class and If I am right I believe you can run a 205 GT1. You would need to check that though.
Anyway whatever you do I wish you luck.
