My race car

I like it Where you racing at in that picture?

Hi Phil...welcome!

Nice looking Race '24.

Reminds me we need a motorsport page on the web site. Nice car mate.

How quick is it compare to others?

Indy circuit at Brands - was leading the up to 2 litre class at that stage but did not finish as I had a big off at Druids. Lot quicker than the Alfa GTV Bertone and very close with the MR2.

Am out again this year in the Future Classics series run by the CSCC - here is calendar and please come and say hi in the Paddock if anyone can get there. I may also try to do a round or 2 in the 924 Championship.

Welcome along Phil.

Def worth getting along to a race if you can. Me and Chris went along to Snet last year and Phil and his crew made us very welcome. Excellent days entertainment too, and all for £12

You still haven't posted that video of the "off" Phil! Still too painful?

Another 924 going to the 'ring this year few of the members here are doing the nurburg' this year as well, just as civvies though

looks a great car,would love to go to some 924 races,would be cool if we had a race section and also some advice for anyone wanting to build a race car(would love to) think it would make for interesting reading

Not a bad idea if we can get someone to post some hints and tips about how to do it, could start off posting in the Projects section and see if there's any interest

I think it would be more appropriate in the Motorsport section!

I agree a race section is a good idea! But then I would, wouldn't I....

A 924 is a great way to start in racing as apart from parts being relatively cheap, the car itself is well balanced and forgiving. It has more grip than power so is really user friendly. It's also reliable which is the most important thing for club racers as there is nothing worse than travelling a long way to a circuit and not bein able to finish or in some cases even not being able to start.

I would like to do a race car build,would be a good project with pics,have a spare manual car,but not sure apart from lightening it what to do

Glad you found your way here Phil, I too enjoyed the Snetterton race. Hope to see you duelling with the big boys again this year

There is surprisingly little to do Rich. Have a look here

The regs will vary from series to series, but its basically all safety related.

hi phil, hope you been keeping away from those Trans Am's

thanks for reminding me.....how can one old race car hold so much oil?

Looks great. I may join you in Future Classsics later in the year. I race a Starion, on here as an ex 924/944 owner.

Phil, it always seems a lot more when its sitting on the tarmac "impromptu!!"

Welcome along BILTEL! Tell us more about your Starion.

It's got a bit of work done to it, well if I'm honest it's probably only the glass that's standard now. I raced it in 2009 in Classic Touring Cars Pre93's and didn't do too badly.

Back to the topic though. Has anybody looked into other championships that the trusty 924 would be eligable for?

Motor Sport Vision have launched a starter series that we would be eligible for and the costs look good value. It is classed according to power to weight ratio which I think is a good idea rather than just engine capacity. I think the 924 would be competitive in this.
