Roger. The helmet probably wouldn't pass today.

Chicane do a Clubman race overall and if you speak to Shane nicely, he'll probably do a deal on a suit, overalls, boots and gear bag.

One of the costs I now baulk at is the annual cost for a race licence and when I only did one race meeting in 2015 and also 2016, MSNZ copped the $50 meeting levy per driver, PLUS the annual licence fee ($190), which is now far more than the annual registration fee for the daily driver which includes an ACC component. It just made it just too expensive to carry on. That is one of the main reasons for deciding to retire in 2016. (No Gold card discount for over 65's either...)

With increased track hire fees - not forgetting the $25 'Safety Levy' at Hampton Downs, what was a reasonably justified hobby expense has moved the sport well away from the ordinary working person on a modest income. No wonder that some grids haven't really increased in size in recent years.
