Can anyone off me some advice on how to get involved and race my car/gettin started would be?

If you haven't already done so I would suggest you join a car club which offers a range of competition activities.

 

Here is one 'local' club which is fairly active in club motorsport.

Most, if not all, circuits offer "Speed off the Streets'- type access. Look up Eastern Creek and Marulan.

As Joe the Gadget Man would say, "bring your money with you!"

As Peter has suggested, joining a club is a good idea.  But before going head first into competition, I recommend doing an Advanced Driver Training Course with a driving school at one of the race tracks.  For a few more bucks than a 'Speed of the Streets' day, this will offer lots of benefits, including;

  • A greater understanding of what may be required to get involved – the instructors should be able to give some advice on how to get involved, which categories may suit you, etc
  • Skills, tips, tricks, and principles on driving fast
  • The correct lines for that track and advice on how to work them out for other tracks
  • Suggestions on car set-up and improvements
  • etc

 

I can strongly recommend Fifth Gear Motoring’s advanced courses ( click here ) at Wakefield Park.
