Slow coach,if you look carefully on the pred site you will see that the 8.50 is for the upper fronts only. Add onto that the "lower fronts" at 8 quid!. That by my adding up is 16.50.
Anyway, back to the main point on this thread. Chris, I think the best thing you could do is go to your local club,ask as many questions as you can think of and also ask if you could have a go(I'm sure most people wouldn't mine letting you have a quick try!) then make your own mind up.
That's me done on the subject now. Good luck with whatever car you choose,and most importantly,enjoy your racing!!!!
