The Guide to Road Racing, Part 10: Getting Started – ChampCar
In this installment of the guide we’ll be diving into the ChampCar series, and what sets it apart from the more traditional sanctions like SCCA and NASA. We recently had the opportunity to run a stint amongst a six-driver team in a ChampCar 24 hour endurance race, held at Buttonwillow Raceway. For a number of reasons, this sort of racing is substantially different from the Spec Miata SCCA sprint racing we’ve been discussing thus far, so we’ll be covering some of the key components that make both ChampCar and the endurance racing format unique in comparison to our previous segments.

Winding Road Racing: Getting Started In Karts
We’ve been spending more and more time thinking and writing about novice racing and skill development, both here and on our Winding Road Racing Facebook channel. In doing so we’ve gotten a fair number of questions about karting, which we’ve always held as a great entry-level approach to racing. So, we thought we’d summarize some of our recent posts on the topic. As with any complex subject, a short piece just scratches the surface, but we hope you find it useful. Look for more of this type of racing content, both here and on Facebook.
