Hi apg100.
Don't worry about your test. So long as you know your flags (multiple choice) and you show you can drive (they are not looking for how quick you drive!), you'll be fine.
Just started reading this thread and to be honest, the only person that can make the decision is you.
All Championships have there merits.
Ask yourself if you want to tour around the country, or if you want to be home for tea after an event? Can you spare a weekend for each race meeting or do you want to keep it to a day? Do you have a budget to race at the thick end of a grid, or do you want a race all through the field as you progress. You may find if you enter a championship with only a few cars, you may not have anyone to race for a while. If it's a full grid, you can gauge your performances each week as you progress through the field. Also learning race craft as you go......
Each category has it's own associated costs. Some engines last longer than others, but when they let go, it's different things that let go......
Build a network of good contacts around you. Check out a local welders for your welding needs. Chances are, if you take your broken bit to a "race welder", you'll pay a premium for the same work.
And DON'T BUY THE FIRST CAR YOU SEE. As much as it appears a bargain, get used to looking at them and build a picture. The cleanest, shiniest car isn't always the quickest!
The main thing is don't rush into it. You don't have to be out for the first race.......
Good luck!
