Does anyone know anything about this? I was at a race today and was inspired by how cool the cars were beefed up but not cosmetically touched, no show ponies and there were some valuable cars there, a couple of MGAs, a TR8, a TVR. What I couldn't work out was how unfair the class was, the TVR was racing against the MGA. The MGA had an MGB engine bored to 1950, but still.
I also was not sure about age of car. There was a midget group, no bigger than 1.3 and there were Abarth 500s, NSU TTs (loved those), Ladas (I think) and a lot of Minis. But I am sure some minis were from the 90s.
So how does one go about selecting a car that will be eligible for various events, and reasonably competitive? I thought I could just get an 80s MX5, turbocharge it and smash all the other classics into touch.
Or is that not really the spirit of it?
