Advice Request - A Car for a beginner

[mjdodwell]

Hi All,

I've started doing some research into RCC racing again after being out of it for 16 years. I used to race mid nineties at a local Gloucester Dowty Track. I used to race a Bosscat and Procat, and the last car I bought was the Cougar 2000/95 which never got used. It has been sat disassembled in my loft ever since.

I would effectively like to get back into it, but I imagine everything has moved on since I last was involved.

Therefore I was wondering if you could give me some hints/tips on any car packages currently selling at dealers for, any packages with cars and radio gear in one for beginners, or good for newbie 2nd hand cars to keep a look out for.



Something that would be good for starters with a good value, with the car, radio gear, power unit etc, that won't break the bank whilst I get my hand back into racing etc. Or would the Cougar 2000 still work (without being laughed off the track), if I rebuilt this and got the radio gear etc for it?

I am starting my research into what to get, and some advice from existing racers would be gratefully received.

Regards
Matt
