Well the numbers are really looking good for this years championship as we have 30 driver registared already and numbers still expected to grow.

With 10 registered M3 E30 in the field hopefully we can show the new cars a thing or two. Also expecting a couple of 2.7 converted 325 E30 should make for a great and exciting year.

That looks just the best fun on 4 wheels, I'de love to be involved but the costs of getting off this rock are outrageous. My 325 track car would probably need more £Â£Ã‚£Ã‚£ spending on it to be competitive..

What licence to you need? Class B comp?
Spec on the car? Limits ?

Anybody going to Donnington Park this weekend (27th July).

Looks like it going to be a great day as Truck Racing, Ferrari's and Kumho .

We have 35 cars registered to start on Sunday so should be really good races.

Well the season is nearly over just one round to go and it been a great year with lots of cars out this season.

Hope some of you guys have had a chance to come and see as its a M3 E30 winning Class A and the three top places in class B are all M3 E30's as well. There has been some really close racing.

Been a good year for me in my firt full year racing (did some of the season last year in a car share) managed to win 3 races one driver of the day and one fastest lap, hopefully can do more in last meeting at Oulton Park.

I have put a video of my in car at donnington. I won this race (Class B) just!!!!!
