Mark Stanton Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 None of the above Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr tooooooooooooooooooo much emphasis is always put on "the car" and very little to the driver E.G. Driver A wins a Class - oh it must be due to his lightweight bodywork and nothing to do with his ability A lot will depend on what Class you want to enter and your budget Best upgrade money to be spent would be on some professional driver coaching With all due respect to your current driving skills Wotbox drove my car quite a few times last year and soooooooooooooo much faster - no difference in the car - just much more skill with the nut behind the wheel You'll be as competitive as you want to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 all of the above, and a beard and big ears, and if poss a long chin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott beeland Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 As mark says. I would leave any development until later on. Learn to drive what you've got (you'll be surprised at how hard you HAVEN'T been driving it really. Then you can upgrade along a logical path. "All the gear no Idea" can happen otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stanton Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 and you need a passenger seat fitted for road-going classes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 As mark says. I would leave any development until later on. Learn to drive what you've got (you'll be surprised at how hard you HAVEN'T been driving it really. Then you can upgrade along a logical path. "All the gear no Idea" can happen otherwise Or of course in Scott's case, stop driving the dam things so hard Smoother is quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu.graham Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Just enter and enjoy it You will develop along with the car, if you do it all at once you dont know what worked better than another upgrade. As Mark said the driver plays a major role in going quick so tuition isnt a bad thing (thinking about it myself ) Cheers Stu PS dont just look at the car to shed weight (no offence ment!!! ) PPS Beard isnt a bad thing as long as it is hovered out on a regular basis (saves weight!
