Description
A Racing Car is Born focuses on the world of the budget race-car.
We follow presenter Mark Evans as he builds, tunes and races a 7-type circuit racer - his very own Westfield 1800, a Ford Zetec powered car with independent rear suspension.
With filming at race-meetings and track-days throughout the British Isles, A Racing Car is Born for the first time really gets under the bonnet of budget motoring.
The series not only shows the amazingly quick build process, it also shows the wide variety of competition motor sport available to the amateur.
With the car complete, Mark takes himself off to compete in various different types of motorsport events - from auto testing in Hatfield to circuit racing in Croix en Ternois, France, for which the car is transformed from a road legal sports car into an out-and-out race car.
He shows just how easy it is to obtain a racing licence and how to find an area of club motorsport to enjoy.
