Get your feet wet, study up on classes, see how similar cars are being prepped and how competitive they are, then choose the class that best fits your budget and local competition.

RTR seems like the best balance between mods, competition, and tire selection.
^^^^ this... Here's what I recommend... If your Brand new...go learn what the car can do.. and develop your skill in RTR..RTR doesn't require a lot of cash... it will require some.. but your better off learning what the car does before you start spending money. Me, I knew right away I was building a STX car out of the box, so I had a plan and pretty much stuck to it. Heres where alot of people get messed up.. they do some mods to the car... THEN try autocross...only to be put in a class that they will never win because the mods they did put them there. if your ok with that then by all means, go have fun and not worry about it. Once you get into the competitive spirit of whatever class you going to run, then do some research and mod away.. But for now, for you, stick to something simple and learn how to drive.

Enjoy
