StephenRae should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Maisie doesn't seem too impressed with my advice:
I am however serious. I am guessing from your question that this is the first car you have prepared to race, if so then when you add the cost of roll cage, extinguisher, harness, fuel tank, fireproofing and all the other safety stuff, to the price of a large trailer or transporter then you will arrive at your first race with a road going saloon with no chance of winning and you will never know why.
If you were to spend the same £5000 on a FF1600 then its all down to you, if you are not quick enough there will be plenty of free advice available, none of which will include thousands of pounds on engine and gearbox rebuilds.
I'm sure the Monoposto and Caterham could make an equally strong case.
