So you want to go motor racing!<\/h4>\n

After a quiet-ish couple of years, racing, track days and Motorsport in general seems to be having a bit of a resurgence which is fantastic to see. Getting involved has never been easier or cheaper. If you're interested in circuit racing then we'd suggest trying your hand at a few track days first. We've written at length about budget track day cars<\/a>, beginners track day guides<\/a>, track day modifications<\/a> and even a corner-by-corner guide to our local track Mondello Park so there's plenty of reading material there for anyone new to the scene. In 2016 MicksGarage<\/a> are sponsoring the Future Classics Championship which is an ideal class in which to start your racing career without bankrupting yourself in the process. This relatively new class has opened up the world of Motorsport to much a wider demographic, largely due to its low cost and ease of entry. \"4622948264\"<\/a><\/p>\n
