The Demon Tweeks | Yokohama Locost Championship offers some of the closest racing in UK motorsport, often with capacity grids. These Locost cars are extremely affordable and are built to the design set out in Ron Champion’s book ‘Build Your Own Sports Car’ (ISBN 1-85960-636-9). Some drivers have built their cars for a few thousand pounds, but this however, requires the builder to do nearly all the work themselves. Nevertheless, the opportunity to enter a race with a self build is something that interests many of the entrants.
