I've started to take my daughter to the Under 17 Car Club. Very well organised and great value for money...Just a bit annoying when some 15 year old goes blasting by in his old mans M5!

Get ready to start racking up those miles then. It's a long way to Coombe from East London. Mind you it's better this year now that North Weald is back on and once she gets her grade 3 TRL is nice and close. It's also a shame that Prodrives test facility in Warwickshire has been dropped.

Telll me about it. We clocked up 300 miles on Sunday, she did 50 miles on the track! She loves every minute...suspect I might have done at 12!

My cousin started young. Uncals a motorsport nut.

Did buggys a bit. Then went all the way thought juner karting, and is now in SaxMax.

Tbh, im jealous as a jealous. I sorted out my first lesson for when i was 17 and a day, then another pupil totaled the instructors car so i had to wait a month just going out with my parents as and when i could.

My cousin is still only about 10 (14), and happly doing 120 down the back stright in a striped out VTR Saxo that his dad bought him. Are sole.

The budget spent on there racebox is twice what i have for my car!
