Cheers for your help so far guys, been doing a lot of research into this so far, and I came across 'rally for heroes'. I fired an email their way to ask what the best way of getting into this kinda thing was, given the kinda time frame I'm expecting to have a car ready we'll be aiming to take part in the 2014 road rally they're organising, they also have regular Nuremberg ring events. Looking at picking up a mk2 platform over the next few months and I've got a rough idea of what needs doing to the car. So in about 6 months time I'll be pestering you guys for sponsorship to raise enough for the entrance fee! Cheers guys!
