What do you mean only one of you is covered to drive with a trailer? Anyone can do it though there are some limitations with those that passed their test after 97 weightwise, but an MR2 wouldn't be too heavy anyway.
Right.

here is the condensed version of the fun and exciting trailing rules!!! YEY!!
(ohhh the bitter experience)
If you passed your test after Jan
'97 then you are pretty limited on towing, although you could still get around it.
Basically, for normal cars
(i.e.
having no more than 8 seats so this does exclude certain people carriers) you are allowed to tow a trailer with a laden trailer weight of 750kg
(this is no good for your purposes as the MR2 will weight about 1200kg without even thinking about the trailer weight), OR you can tow a combined vehicle and trailer weight of 3500kg
(3.5 tonnes) as long as the laden trailer weight is less than 80% of the unladen towing vehicle weight.
For vehicles with more than 8 seats
(e.g.
a minibus) then you are only allowed 750kg.
This means that if you have a post
'97 licence, you will only be able to tow your MR2 to a track day if you have a passenger car
(no more than 8 seats) that weighs between 1.5 tonnes unladen
(MR2 weight
= 1200kg, so to not exceed the 80% rule, the towing vehicle has to be 1200/80*100
= 1500) and 2.3 tonnes
(3.5 tonnes combined weight rule) assuming you do not load anything else.
If you have a pre
'97 licence, you have much more flexibility on the combined weight and can tow minibuses etc with trailers over 750kg.
So you will need something bigger than your average Ford Focus to tow, but not as big as the new Land Rover Disco 3
.
That's if you want to tow of course
(and breathe out.
