Racing cars is a very fun and enjoyable hobby, but unfortunately racing is not at all cheap. However for those who are looking to get in on some racing action with a limited budget there are plenty of racing series our there just for you. One way to go wheel to wheel and actually have a decent shot on a level playing field is spec class racing.
Spec racing is essentially where drivers race very similar cars (usually the same model) and are very limited to the amount of mods they can perform. These cars are usually fairly close to stock especially when it comes to engine mods, which for the beginner is good because when learning how to race having just enough horsepower is one of the best ways to be able to easily push a car to its limits and really learn some driving fundamentals. Not to mention the fact that heavily modded engines that can take a full days abuse at the track are going to cost a boat load of cash.

The reason Spec classes are so great for beginners is that the series themselves are designed to allow every one to be able to compete on a level playing field and focus on driver skill rather than who has the best parts budget. Although there is still often times some room for modification and those that are really in it to win it will take advantage of every area they are allowed.
One of my favorite spec. classes I have seen is the Pro7 and Spec7 series. These events feature wheel to wheel racing with 1st gen Mazda RX-7's which are not only fun to drive and easily available, they also happen to be quite cheap. When it comes to spec racing on a budget I can make the suggestion to look for a car that has already had some of the prep work done. Things like roll cages, racing seats, harnesses, and other safety mods are the necessary items that we do not want to compromise on but also tend to be some of the most expensive items on these cars.
Spec7 is not the only cheap spec class you will find out there in fact there are plenty that may even run strictly in your local region so get out there and look and have fun!
