Entry into motorsport

Also,

Race suits can be expensive....there's often good ones on ebay at half the "new"price.

Something like this.....

RPM Mondial Race Suit FIA Approved | eBay

Not big on buying second hand helmets though.....Once they've had a good hit they don't have the same safety level.


Have fun.
Cheers,
Warren

Good advice all around. Usually not too bad to spin, as these cars tend to do, but to flip is a bit more unsettling. One more safety bit you should consider if you have an electric fuel pump is an inertia switch.

Further to the above I fitted a "kill switch" on my Dash (Missile switch type). So I can quickly disconnect Ignition as my ignition key is not as quick to get to on the steering column.

I also have the missile switch but I connected to fuel pump relay

Perhaps change this set up mate. By the time your car runs out of fuel and stops it may be all too late in a WOT throttle stick situation.

Connect kill switch to ignition and fuel pumps to oil pressure. Engine stops and so does fuel pump automatically.
