    Hmmm, tempting. What about the cost of consumables? Track time? Entry fees? gear? It'll probably sting a lot more when all of the above are figured in.

    Well done Leo. It's ok...... I suppose.:D

    If I used my initiative and set up an F5 one it would be sooooooooooooo much better. Anyhoo.

    I've raced the Unos, few years ago now and I now race in the Punto Abarths.

    As an introduction to motorsport you won't find a better class...

    The cars are cheap to buy and run and very easy to maintain and work on yourself.... Lot of commradery in the class as most competitors are newcomers who are all helping each other find their feet.

    After moving up to the premier Fiat class I have gone and bought myself another Uno for doing the odd race in such is draw of the class...

    If you don't wanna go to all the expense there are cars available for rent on a per race or season basis.

    Do it, you'll love it!!

    Due to lack of garage space and a new project in the wings, I'm selling my Uno!!

    Freshly rebuilt engine, all new steering components, new wishbones, new pads discs lines and fluid.

    Ready to go.

    All sounds like a lot of fun!

    What is the total cost of doing something like this? I would love to get involved in racing but have no mechanical skills etc so I would need to pay for it.

    What are the other costs involved? fuel, entry fees, license etc? Is this the cheapest way to go racing?

    First time poster - forgive me if this has been covered before...

    Actually, it would make an excellent sticky: "So you want to start competing".

    Entries for Mondello are e210 this year (Kirkistown is a bit cheaper but I haven't been up there this year), license is ~110 for the license itself but you'll need to do an introductory course before. I have no idea how much this costs but check out http://www.motorsportireland.com/
