TIME TO HIT THE TRACK
We like driving, and we like a challenge. So following
the carnage of Staples2Naples in 2005,
where we learnt to drive like Italians, we came up with a new
challenge for 2006. To get a race licence, get the wrong side of the
barriers, and go racing.
For a first leap into motorsport, Formula
Jedi provides about the cheapest possible way to get into a "slicks
and wings" single-seater championship and it's for this reason
that MSportUK has been an avid supporter of the series for the
last few years. It seemed only sensible that this championship
was where we first looked, and our good friends at Jedi
Racing Cars in Wellingborough are more than happy to help
anyone interested in racing one of their motorbike-engined cars.
DIARY
We've been keeping track of everything we got up to and
logging it all as one example of how to get started in motorsport.
