Topic: UK Driver
Hey guys,
Followed Lemons for a while but we have nothing like this in the UK.
My question is, has anyone travelled from the UK to join a team?
I have experience in karting.
Thanks,
Sam

There were a few guys from the UK who had been talking about fielding a team and were looking to rent/build/buy a car to run in one of the California events, but they disappeared.
I think there have been a few "arrive and drives" from around the world. This is where someone pays to be on an existing team, and shows up, races, then heads home. It is quite common.
The latter one sounds more my cup of tea.
Although I'd like to prep the car too.
Thanks for the information man.
Not sure if there have been drivers from the UK but I do know we have had overseas arrive and drives on more than one occasion.
Of course there are also the foreign teams from Canada and teams run by people with funny accents from mythical lands like New Zealand.
Just make sure your license will carry over to Lemons. I'm 99.99% sure it does. Contact Nick

Do I need a competition licence or just a regular road licence?
Thanks,

Kind of yes to both but the competition license is really just type in your digits and pay your money ($50/year now?)...no experience required.

I'll email the dude.
Looking at Sonoma at the moment, flights come close to £1k
I am always looking for drivers. We run an Austin 1300, well run is a strong word, we do a few laps then change the engine. Nights are typically spent changing the engine again. Probably off to Dallas next year, I can keep you posted. Entry fee will include copous quantities of Bassett's Wine Gums. In all seriousness, the car is currently running strong and should be good to go in Dallas...

As a Brit myself I find the concept of another Brit flying all the way from the UK to Dallas to drive, of all things, an Austin 1300 highly amusing.
Isn't there pretty cheep rally cross in the UK? I saw that on an episode of top gear. They were out racing for under 2000GBP. Looked pretty sick actually.
Its series 18 episode 7 I think.

Sounds good Bro, I'll PM you some contact details now.

We had a German come over and run the Porschelump. Zero issues. Falls under the same rules as the 'Muricans: pay the membership fee and show off a road license at some point, IIRC.
Do eet.
