The laser is a very good car mate.
As others have said pop along to either tyne met or Seaham clubs and ask some questions all members from both are all very friendly, and are always willing to help.
Don't worry about the speed of your car just focus on not crashing then work on going quicker.
If you need any info on Tyne met call Phills models in north shields on 01912728443 and ask for Gary (he's the treasurer of the club)
Hope you get on the track soon at either Tyne met or Seaham, and hope you enjoy it.
