Destruction derby challenge

This ones a bit different as it doesn't involve a coupe.

But it does involve departing with £200 and a days full of highly entertaining Motorsport .

The challenge is
Buy a car for £150 or less
Must be taxed and tested

Meet in a field that has been offered to me locally and its last man standing.

Whoever does the most laps wins .

Strictly no contact laugh

Need 10 participants to make it £50 each.

For the cost of a normal track day and you can weigh them in for £100 at the end of it.

Leave them in the field,I know a good scrap man who will sort that.

Drive them there and bring another driver to drive your own car.
Simples

As dlt said ,its one hell of a laugh.

Sounds bloody interesting. Is weighting in guaranteed? laugh

If I manage to convince my missus to help me out i.e. being another driver then I am a maybe...

I got this thought in my head... buy it in the evening before the event, insure it for 24hrs @ £25, drive it to the track and then destroy it woohoo

Guaranteed weigh in
Depends on the barge you buy but usually its £100 per tonne and 70% of that is a real figure considering panels will be lost.

Personally I'm going for some rwd heavy Japanese tart.

I think being in the motor trade is quite an advantage for something like this. To even things up maybe all the cars go into a pool and JBT gets last choice!!

I'm well up for it if I can find a car. Sounds like a right summer bbq occasion or something.
