If anyone's after a very quick hillclimb/sprint car and wanting a cheap way Into single seat race cars then there's a very tempting one on both uphillracers and pistonheads race cars!
It would be very hard or maybe impossible to get up a hill as fast for less money!
Chaps name is Tom Poole, he's a nice guy and the car is very very good value! A great step up from a 7 for a very small outlay!

It is a good buy! I'm not interested btw - my days of single seaters ended in the trees in Wiscombe Park !

Stick to the Tarmac Simon! It's the only way. Lol

Those trees are like single seater magnets! I was lucky to walk away! My dad happened to be at that exact point and we both realised how lucky I was! I snapped all the master cylinders so you can tell how close my feet were to the trees!

Hopefully my carbon crash box and tub should really help if I have any offs!

I did try to, but chasing that magic pot gets the better of you.

To be honest the paddock on a wet day is more lethal than the hill, had van, trailer and racer side slipping down the hill one morning! Give me the hill anytime.

I found I was more ragged and slower when I new I was in with a shot at a record!
I should have took barbon and Anglesey last year but failed at both.had to make do with just the one at blyton and I feel that will be broken this year as I was on really old tyres! I'd like to get back in libre again with a fresh set of tyres and a decent car as in the single seaters the level is up a notch or 2
