Hello,
I am just like yourself, I have always wanted to get into racing and this does seem like a great way to introduce yourself into it.
I understand a lot of the prices are readily available, not just on your site but also from Caterham. But it would be better to talk to someone, like yourself that has/ is actually doing it.
So if you don’t mind, would you mind discussing how much it all really has cost?
What do you actually get? Insurance costs, do you get tyres every race etc?
Regards
Adam Hatton
