For those of you who may be interested the Peterborough Motorsports Club is starting up, for those interested check out the website and see if you’d like to come out - I recommend the solo events

To be completely honest I’ve never soloed - the PMSC has been around for a long time - I went to a hundred solo events as a kid when my dad raced datsuns, as a passenger it was a blast - and I navigated in a few rallies with him as well - I’ll be at every event this year - my solo project car is coming along quite well - all about raising the power to weight ratio hehe

Yeah ill try to get out to some events this year but with out my 240 i wont be participating…maybe bum a ride off a friend this yr for a few laps haha

As Scott said below, PMSC Solo events are more driver ability more then power, weight obviously has some play.

Due to space there are a lot of tight turns, limiting long stretches where you can really open you car up, therefore its all about driver skill.

The miata’s last year spanked me, along with a fiero because of experience.
