Mk1 MR2s race in the MR2 Challenge
(within the Roadsports category) of 750 motorclub
(
www.750mc.co.uk).
They started the challenge last year, and have already had one race this year
- with about 15 MR2s on the grid.
Their next race is at Brands hatch on the weekend of the 23rd/24th April.
The cars are sort of stock
- there are rules and regs for the formula telling you what you can and can't do, but you will need to get a
'sealed engine' from red dragon automotive
(
www.reddragonautomotive.com, or
www.mr2racing.com).
If you use your own car that is.
.
.
.
you will also need to fit a roll cage, seat harness, get the Yoko tyres, etc etc.
.

I'm sure other peeps actually racing in the challenge will pop along soon enough to fill you in properly.
To actually get racing, you could buy a race prepped car for
£3000 ish, you'll also need to do an ARDS test
(see 750 mc for
'get racing' info) which costs
£150
-
£250 depending on where you do it.
You then have MSA fees, 750 mc reg fees, and fees for each event
(its between
£150 and
£200 ish for another formula
- for roadsports i'm not sure), and also you'll need to trailer your car there.
So relatively cheap
If you haven't done it before, I think mr2mk1club(.com) have a car that you could get a drive in.
.
.although you'll still need the ARDS licence.
.
.
.
Reddragon also seem to do drives too.
