Drift car / low car transport solutions

Hi all I'm looking into transporting my car next year so I can get to bigger events and a lot more tracks without the fear of getting it wrong and not being able to get home!

I don't have a trailer licence and to get one along with a trailer and tow car isn't financially viable.

That said, how many people use small recovery vehicles and how do you get around getting a low car onto it?

Cheers

3.5Ton recovery trucks can be driven on his license, but they're going to be 2T unloaded at the very best and most likely 2.2/2.3 all in which gives you ~1300KG to pay with, so would JUST work for a car that is light, but even theb every wheel, tyre, extra fluids and tools all add up, plus GOOD 3.5T conversions aren't cheap, unless you've got ambitions of trying to nurse an ancient transit van through its dying days.

Do the trailer test or continue to drive your car to events. Remember plenty of places rent trailers so you don't have to buy straight away and many cheap barges will be happy towing so the B+E route needn't be too expensive.
 
what car do you want to transport? is the main question. if its a 7 series you aint legally gonna get it on a 3.5t truck.
 
It's a 14a the bumpers are already removable, what's the regs for towing then?

I've heard the tow vehicle must weigh more than the trailer and load but then I've seen a e36 touring tow a fully fledged comp car with tyre rack etc which to me would be more than the e36?

Cheers for the advice guys [emoji106]
