National level is ALWAYS going to be expensive. Perhaps it's fairer for me to say that with similar equipment, the better driver will always win.
But if you stick to regional or club level, it follows that you shouldn't have to spend as much to be competitive.

I will soon let you all know how "competitive" i can be with old gear
I'm doing the CML raceway winter series as Lee's a good mate of mine and it's only down the road.... how's this for old skool? RC10 B3, with KO 2015 Servo, KO Radio, LRP IPC Speedo, and possibly 3300 mah Batteries..... oooh and a load of old Proline Tyres from Euro's 99, 2000 and 2001
I'm quite looking forward to it... but feel i may be shocked.
