on the track you will notice that different areas a vintage buggy will be faster yet other areas it will be slower. now as a driver you should be able to make it work so you can run equal lap times with the modern guys.
the biggest downside is parts. be sure you carry every possible spare that you can because the track most likely wont have what you need if you break it.
the best part is the look on the other racers faces when you beat them driving an antique.

You have hit the nail on the head as your comments are spot on.
My vintage was excellent on very low grip surfaces and never lost a club race but on high grip i had to redesign to try at least to get it on a level playing field. The problems are as said getting parts, and in my case as the car is one of a very few ive had to get spares made up. I also found at the petit i broke my car in four races but was going at the same pace as the rest in my heat until it broke so just a bit of work can make a difference.
