Ten friends, six teams. One rule above all: every car must be bought for under one thousand pounds.
Four days across the Midlands, the Cotswolds and the south coast. A sprint course morning, a track day afternoon, the best pubs we could find within range of both, a long lunch at Clarkson's, a proper black tie dinner in Worthing, and a car auction at Shoreham to see what's left of the fleet.
Scoring is unforgiving in places, generous in others, and thoroughly documented. Points for engine size, age, purchase savings, rarity, condition, track behaviour, breakdown drama, peer vote, style, and the eventual sale.
Four days, hour by hour. Every venue, every stop, every mile.

Cars can lean in as much or as little as they like. Style points reward those who commit.
