      Its only a 1400 so no chance of competing with you guys but its all a learning curve for me at the moment

        You're in class E then, I don't know about not competing with "us" I would think that a well sorted/driven 1400 Nova would be a match for my car and probably some of the others in class D ( I only started racing last year BTW)

          Your right Nick the car should be competitive but i have never raced or driven on slicks and have only managed 2 full trackdays so its going to be one steep learning curve

                    You may be better off racing with the intermarques to start with,I did the last round in 2008 and it was excellent so much so I'm mixing DMN and inters this year

                        Is it right you have to run road tyres in the intermarques as i have only got slicks wets and inters for the 13 inch wheels and haven,t really got the funds for road tyres, i will just give DMN a go ,not really epecting to much and see what happens

                          Intermarques are allowed slicks,tin-tops run on road tyresEntry fees are a bit less for the inters than DMN too.
