OK, so some of you may not know what an Autotest is. Basically it is "Skills test".
To test your mind/memory and the handling skills you have of your car (or your mates car).
We have designed a really basic course, you will easily remember "Slalom, Big turn & Return slalom".
As for the Handling skills, the course will not be tight (even a Clio v6 will have enough room) we all know if you attack and go too fast you will see the red mist, slide, spin, overshoot or nudge a cone, so it is up to your mind skills to drive within your own limits. Often a Hare & Tortoise situation ....... Slow is actually Fast overall.
You may have searched "Autotest" on Youtube. We will NOT be doing this. They will be Autotest-Special cars, drivers with 20+ years of experience, doing flick J turns and with fancy handbrakes etc. All our Tests will be forwards only and simple.

I will post up a sample Course tomorrow.

Autotest is Grass-Roots Club Motorsport. It is not fast and furious like circuit racing or expensive like a track day. It is CHEAP & FUN. You and a mate can share a car and both take part. You are not driving for hours on end so it is very social too.

To make it good fun, a spectacle to watch and an experience for new drivers, we need some more entries. These particular Tests (courses) are designed for new comers. It is only £30 and you will get to drive up the Famous Test Hill too (timed).

The Regulations (specific rules) are above with a postal Entry Form,
Enter On-Line, link above, it is much easier, saves a stamp, envelope and the hassle.

What are you waiting for?

Is anyone breathing, if not, I recently did a life saving course, and I missed a motorsport weekend for it too.
