birminghamtr7 Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 morning gents i bought old tr4 yellow peril of mike hazelwood maybe 4 years ago, with the intention of restoring to original, and over the last few year have aquired most of the panels to do this, however i have this yearning to return it to the track or hillclimbing something competitive in some form or another, so i think project reasemble will be tacking place shortly, so question is is there a guide what needs to be done to car and what engine mods are ok how to register with someone and best avenue to have a go.

Motorsport Mickey Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Hhhmmmm difficult to advise on the spread of options given there. You could prepare the car and spend large amounts for track day use, and then find it's almost unusable in actual competition because all the different championships restrict and demand it's built to their specs. So... do you want to compete ? Or just drive around with others on a track day ? Both are good... but different, you do need to be more disciplined for a race championship. The car will need building carefully for you to be able to compete adequately. Forget any thoughts of driver skill overcoming technical shortcomings... unless you are a driving god - it doesn't.

john.r.davies Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 birmingham7, Suggest you look at the MSA Yearbook, Section K Safety. https://www.msauk.org/News-Publications/Publications/MSA-Yearbooks That includes all the details, which principally is roll hoop/ cage (Roll Over Protection System ROPS), the seat(s) and harness(es), extinguisher, windscreen glass, tow points, etc. And your own PPE. Its a big investment these days! But, there are disciplines that need none of that, like Autosolo. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jellison Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) Well I did have a cool race pic with me, Dave Bailey, Mike H, Peter Kennerly from the late 90's (best times racing for me, lost of cars so close and we really got close ), but how the hell you post any image in forum is totally beyond me or youtube links (race start with the car in). Bring it out in the Swing Sixties (mine now back out after 10 year resting). What does it need, what did Mike actually sell you, rolling chassis or the whole thing? It was dark green for most of the time it raced (change to yellow late on). I have the the door from it on mine (Mike must have kept it at some point before painting yellow).

My 6 when in cooking Roadsport spec (4 yrs before it went full race). Edited January 18, 2018 by jellison Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john.r.davies Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 How's it going, Birmingham7? Making progress? Towards what, as Mickey suggested? John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kevin bryant Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Sprinting and hillclimbing can be tackled in anything from a standard road car to a fully prepared race monster and with our championship, The Revington TR / TR Register Sprint and Hillclimb Championship, divided into classes, you can enjoy the competitive side of motorsport without spending fortunes in either cash or time. Details are here http://www.tr-register.co.uk/motorsport-downloads Come and play. Forty of us registered last year and we hoping for even more this year. Kev Quote Link to post Share on other sites
