Donington, the fantastic Midlands circuit with the famous Craner Curves, is back to its usual place in our calendar this year. We hope to see 54 MGs of various models having safe fun on track. We extend a welcome to the Caterham and Lotus 7 Club again who will be joining us. This is a three session per hour day with 7 sessions each of 20 mins. We expect each car to have 2 hr 20 min of track time during the day assuming no stoppages. There will be plenty of space on track, running 27 cars on the two mile circuit will give each car an average of about 140yards separation. 

First Timers

This track day will also have a special 'First-Timer' offer! We appreciate that your first time on track can appear to be a little daunting so we are running one of the sessions especially for first-timers or inexperienced track drivers; offering extra support:-

1. There are a limited number of FREE instruction sessions which we are offering to genuine first timers. This is limited to one free session per car.

2. an instructor will give special, first-timer, group class room briefings during the day to provide guidance on the circuit and track driving.

3. experienced drivers will offer a buddy system. You will be allocated a buddy who will help you learn the ropes - from sign-on to the end of the day.

Instruction

We encourage all drivers to take the opportunity of instruction with our Association of Racing Drivers Schools (ARDS) Grade A qualified instructors. We strongly advise all levels of experience to take advantage of this. Please note we are unable to provide more than two instruction sessions per car. Any additional booked will have to be cancelled. We regret that instruction is not available in cars which are not fitted with seatbelts.

Coaching

MGoT is pleased to offer an opportunity to develop specific areas of your driving skills to increase your track day enjoyment. Before you spend any more cash on improvements to your car consider this. MGoT will now offer drivers, dedicated, one-on-one coaching with an ARDS instructor for your entire afternoon track time. Places are very limited and the cost is an unbelievable £50! Book and pay at the same time you book your place by selecting the coaching option.

Helmet Hire

We have helmets available to hire on a first come, first served basis and these can be booked online at the same time as you book your place. Please note the MSV helmet requirements for this day.

Second Drivers

You can book to bring along a second driver but we can only allow one additional driver per car. The second driver must sit as passenger during the sighting laps and then perform their own sighting laps at a lower speed during their first session on track. If your second driver's experience is significantly different to your own, please discuss this with our event manager.

Passengers

Passengers are free, bring as many as you like but only one in a car at a time. Please either enter their names when you book or email the event manager to let them know. 

Details about the day 

We will email an event guide with final instructions about a week before the event. Please read it carefully when it arrives. The event guide will also be posted in the forum. This day is open to MGs and compatible marques. Please contact the Event Manager listed at the top of this page to ensure your non-MG is considered compatible. We reserve the right to cancel non compatibles.

Cars must be road legal and comply with current MoT legislation where appropriate (or be of MoT standard for race and track-only cars). Drivers must bring their FULL driving licence to sign-on. Failure to do this may mean you will not be allowed on track.
