This event is the re-scheduling of the track day planned for 25th March which had to be cancelled due to snow. The costs for this new event are the same.
People who had booked for the March day and have confirmed their booking for September have now been transferred to this new event. The few cancellations that were received have been sold to people who were already on the waiting list so at the moment the event is fully booked, however we usually get some people dropping out so places may come up.
 
To be put on the reserve list for these spaces please email Dave Pearce (DaveP@MGs-on-Track.co.uk) Please include a phone contact number in your email so that we can contact you quickly when a space becomes available..

Beginners / First Timers please note that due to restrictions in our contract with Silverstone we regret that first time track day drivers are no longer permitted to take part on the Grand Prix Circuit. Any first-timers who book this event will have their booking cancelled and their fee fully refunded. Please check your website user profile to make sure the experience level recorded there reflects your current status. We are delighted to be able to offer this full day on the Silverstone Arena GP Circuit, as used for the British Grand Prix. The circuit is 1/2 mile longer than the previous GP circuit and the new Arena section is a real technical challenge. This is a three session per hour day with each session lasting 20 minutes. We expect each car to have 2 hours of track time throughout the day, assuming no stoppages. Two sessions will be MGs-on-Track and one session will be Lotus-on-Track.Once all the MG session bookings are in we will assign the sessions on the basis of experience. One session will be more suitable for novice and less experienced drivers and the other for the more experienced and expert drivers. CoachingMGoT is pleased to offer an opportunity to develop specific areas of you driving skills and so 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 will be limited and the cost is an unbelievable £30! Book and pay at the same time you book your place by selecting the coaching option.

Please note we are unable to provide more than two instruction sessions per car.
