Scottish Elises

Last year I sold my Exige (thanks to Kenny) as I found it too expensive a car to throw around the track and too compromised for the all-weather road miles I cover. I had intended on replacing with a Caterham and a tow car. Unfortunately my mortgage was up for renewal so this year I ended up with a tow car (WRX wagon) but nothing to tow! After an impromptu test drive this summer at Caterham midlands I decided to sign up for the Caterham Academy 2010. Not something I had ever considered due to living up here, but soon convinced myself racing was the way forward! I should get my kit in November/December then it will be time to get as much road/track time as possible following a chilly mid-winter build. I can't wait having made Skip Barber my new bible and have signed up for SIDC August and a Caterham slalom experience to help keep my going until next year.

See you on track soon,

Merlin.

Top effort!

Looks like a great race series. I seriously considered it, but couldnt face driving all the way in a 7, then along came the LOTRDC.

Looking forward to following your progress, and seeing the new car at KH

Have been loving 7's since driving my mates R400 up from Royal Ascot, and Mass gave me a shot of his at the last LOT KH day. Racing them, well that should be entirely special - there are also some great guys on here for advice on set up etc.

I'm going to have to do something next year now

Better hide this thread from Louise!

Best of luck to you mate.

Im sure you will not regret taking the plunge into racing. Your bank manager might though! It looks like a good series. And with all the cars being the same it should be down to the driver.

Congratulations on taking the plunge - I'm sure it'll be great fun and a wonderful year

Let us know if you need any help/support

Cheers

David

Fantastic! Have fun, and be sure to keep us fully posted

Excellent, good luck mate.
