hello mate,
im studying motorsport at uni and have raced in the 750 motor club in the past.
basically just search the net for what you want, 750 motor club are good and grass track, stock cars, hill climb is the cheapest wasy to start! When you start racing circuits like brands the entrance fees are large!
You will also probably need a liscence 2
