This booking link is for half-days only. Please use the other event to book a whole day. 

 

We make a welcome return to Bedford Autodrome this year for a two MGoT session per hour event on an MSV run sesssioned day (the third session will be sold and run by MSV). We envisage two sessions comprising first-timers, novices and those with some experience and the second session for the more experienced drivers but, of course, depending on the experience of those booking this is subject to change to ensure everyone is in a suitable group. We will run 40 cars per 20 minute session on this 3.8 mile long GT circuit (its is longer than Silverstone GP which is 3.66 miles) and this circuit was custom designed by ex-F1 driver, Jonathan Palmer. There will therefore be plenty of space for everyone and the GT circuit is a fast and challenging circuit - check out this link for a fast lap with our very own Dave Pearce.

 

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 these, but it is especially beneficial for first time and novice drivers. Please book and pay at the same time you book your track day place.
Please note we are unable to provide more than two instruction sessions per car. Any additional booked will be cancelled. If you are an experienced or intermediate level driver, please book into the experienced instruction option. Otherwise, please book the novice instruction. Both options are the same but it will help us to schedule the instruction sessions.

 

Helmet hire

We have a small number of 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 his own sighting laps at a lower speed during his first session on track.If your second driver's experience is significantly different from your own please email the event manager below.
 

Details about the day

We will e-mail an event guide with final instructions during the week before the event, please read it carefully when it arrives. This event guide will also be posted in the Forum under the relevant thread.
