With the way Roberts car is set up, we found that the car was far too "stiff and heavy" (for want of better words).... when trying to negotiate the tight courses.
Having met Richard from WA (lovely chap btw and very nice FTO) - he also takes his car to the drags - where it performs quite nicely. So thats another option for people who don't want to race it around a track.
We (as in anyone who currently puts their car on the track) are always willing to help or offer advice if anyone needs it. Anyone is quite welcome to attend track days, you can come as a spectator - see what its all about, ask questions etc. Track days need not cost a lot of money.
Some places also hold open practice days on weekdays. These are a lot of fun, with only a handful of cars on the track - they are a good way to learn the course without the pressure of timing.
Motorkhana's are an excellent way to improve your driving skills. They are held on large flat surfaces with flags - so if you do "hit a flag" - the worst you will get is a flag lying on the ground - no damage to your car
