LATE SPACE NOW AVAILABLE Please report to signing on at Donington at 07.30. Your chance to visit this fantastic Midlands circuit which is now back registered and fully operational following the F1 debacle. We hope to see 75 MGs of various models having safe fun on track. We expect each car to have a full 2 hours 20 minutes of track time during the day assuming no stoppages. This is a three session per hour day with 7 sessions each of 20 mins. There will be plenty of space on track, running 25 cars on the two mile circuit will give each car about 140 yards separation without bunching.We especially welcome members of the MGB register as part of their 50th anniversary celebrations. Some may choose just to come along and have fun in the paddock, taking in the atmosphere, whilst others may wish to join our more regular MGBs, Cs on track. Either way, they will be most welcome, remembering that we do not charge for spectator access or for track passengers. This is an MG only day, we regret we are unable to accept bookings from other compatible classics. 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:-an instructor will give special, first-timer, group classroom briefings during the day to provide guidance on the circuit and track driving. 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.
