Sorry to sound like your wrong......but your all wrong
, if the newbie is going to race where i think hes going to then a second hand B44 or B44.1 is the car he should be looking for, the posts about mad monkeys/rats etc are very good advice if you run at a track with grip, the newbie sounds like he will be running at a club mostly running touring cars and run on full slippy floor, a 2WD car simply wouldnt go around this track.
Get yourself on the for sale section and look out for a B44.1 or B44 and build stuff up as Sumilidon has said, keeping away from a Caster though!
You will 100% spend more than £200 for a full set-up, however you will enjoy the hobby so much more with some better kit! Enjoy!
