Does racing really need to cost a fortune? 🏁

In this episode of Project 1500, we discuss the difference between a cheap, near-standard MG Midget race car and a much more expensive, highly developed one.

Our argument is simple: if we want to get more people into motorsport, shouldn't we make it possible to build and race a competitive car without spending a small fortune?

Could you build an MG Midget race car for under £5,000? What modifications are actually necessary, and how much performance do you really need to enjoy competitive racing?

We discuss the costs, the compromises and the idea of keeping grassroots motorsport affordable — so more people can get on the grid rather than watching from the sidelines.

Is a near-standard Midget the way forward, or does spending more money really make racing better? Let us know what you think in the comments!
