Finding an affordable and fun way to go motor racing is very much the sport's holy grail. Classes like Formula V and HQ Holdens have brought some of the more successful attempts at the genre, the latest to the one-mate series for the Hyundai Excel. The cars are certainly plentiful with over 44,000 sold in Australia. So what's the story behind yet another new Australian racing category? This is the new cheap form of motorsport, a lot of fun. You can get into around $6,000 with a complete car. There's plenty of used cars out there at the moment or X-Race cars from other states. Around the same sort of price. It's very low budget, very much high fun. HQ Racing was Tasmania's gift to the local motorsport landscape. So where did the idea to race Hyundai Excel's come from? I believe it started in Queensland. We initially got on board with the new South Wales guys under double A.C. last year. We now morphed over into Cams and formed our own association. And this is our very first round under Cams this year at the state round. And we're very pleased and privileged to be here today. The new class is all about keeping things affordable. So modifications to the standard car are very limited. Suspension and tyres is pretty much it. The brakes have got to be standard, apart from materials of course. But and the normal safety gear and that's pretty much it. And they're a lot of fun for learing little money. So no modifications to the engine at all? Not at all. Only the exhaust from the exhaust manifold back. That's it. And all induction of course. You can get rid of the original air box and things like that and put in pod filters and things like that. We'll free but they've got to be 15 by 7 inch. So no more. And the tyres are 195, 15s. So that's it. The tyres are larger and a bit wider than the standard. 16 cars face the starter for the first race at Sandown and the classes already become popular into state. So what are the plans for the future? We are trying at this very moment to make it national. It's got a national category under 3E in Cams. We're trying to unite all the states there to eventually run the old manamies to run the nationals event somewhere in Australia with as many cars as we can get. So if the thought of racing art is old shopping trolley appeals to you and it certainly appeals to me, what's the next step? We have a Facebook site which is a Victorian XL racing. Just get on there and make a send us a message and we'll get to you. We have got a website but it's not quite up and running at this stage. ah More power better fuel economy a cleaner more efficient engine Than just a few of the advantages of having your cartooned on a deynotec deynote to find your nearest deynotec workshop go to dino.com.au DinoTik by DinoDynamics
