I'm amazed that those are still legal in the UK. They never have been
in the US, AFAIK. What a fun toy, if one had the space for it.
I doubt you could import a completed one but if you build it yourself I
think you could license it in this state. You might have to call it an
ATV. Quads and side-by-sides are street legal.
My lab partner was friends with a guy who raced a series 2 Super Seven
with a Cosworth 1500 at Limerock and I wound up on the pit crew a couple
of times. With the clamshell fenders flapping in the breeze it's a wonder
it didn't get airborne.
It was typical SCCA chaos with a mix of classes on the track. The
Corvettes ruled the straights but somehow they never could quite get away
from the pack of Sevens and Coopers chasing them.
Bench racing didn't do much for our lab experience. For best results. find
a nerd for a partner.
