Eric
You dont need a driving licence for a junior competition licence that allows you drive in autotests. Check out the Motorsport Ireland website for the full details.
as to the Fiat; the standard answer from those in the know is the gearbox is too fragile for autotesting.
You should probably look at the Starlet option
Maybe come along and get talking to people at a couple of the events coming up in your area : Longford, or Birr in May.You can ask many of the people and get answers to your questions
