15 Jul 2013
This is the first of two visits here in 2013 and will be a four session per hour day. Each session will have 12 cars and last 15 mins. we expect each car to have one hour and forty-five minutes of track time during the day assuming no stoppages. Sessions will be allocated according to driver experience and car so that one session will be more suitable to beginners and the lessexperienced track day drivers, two to intermediates and one to the moreexperienced. We are sorry but this day is only open to MG/Rover registered members, there is no option for compatible makes. Cars must be roadworthy and comply with current MOT legislation. You must bring your FULL driving license to the sign-on - that's the plastic card AND the paper version, or you may not be allowed on track. All persons going on track must wear a suitable crash helmet of recognised manufacture and have arms and legs covered. InstructionWe encourage all drivers to take the opportunity of instruction with our Association of Racing Drivers Schools (ARDS) Grade A qualified instructors.
