Tamiya do an excellent mid-price car called the TA-05. If you can find the TA-05R version which has all the desirable hop-ups in the box you will be set with a very good club car indeed. No need to spend £300 on a chassis for club racing.
I ran a TA-05R for a few months earlier this year (until I sold it to someone else who proceeded to beat me with it the following week! I still have sellers remorse), won virtually all of my local club races with it and took it into the A-final of the Carlisle Cup with a 19T motor, up against some of the best racers from Scotland and the North of England running modified motors.
So TA-05 gets my firm recommendation as a good value, good handling way into touring cars.

i think you will find that not all a finalists were racing mod.
one car that set t.q. was running a 19 turn
