PAST EVENT

Wednesday 25th of April 2012 - Funkhana and Sprint fun day

Open to all MX-5 owners, with preference given to Club Members. Club Members are welcome in any licensed roadworthy car.

This event will be held at the RAC Centre on the morning of Wednesday, April 25 8am to 12:30pm

This event is specifically run as a fun event for those who have or have never participated in motor sport or Autotest and Sprint competitors, who want try varying techniques without the pressure of competition.

On the skid pan, in Autotest layout, each course is less than a mile long, with each driver getting at least 3 runs of each of the two different circuits.
In and out cones on a large, flat hotmix surface, as fast as you can in second gear. More fun than you can ever imagine!
This is an untimed event run under the exact same conditions as the Autotest series and is an excellent introduction into motorsport. No previous experience required.

ALSO

On the Sprint track. This is a short course road racing circuit, flat out in third gear stuff. All the thrills of high speed driving at moderate speed.
This is an untimed event run under the exact same conditions as the Club Sprints and is an excellent introduction into motorsport. No previous experience required.

Lots of runs, absolute bargain price of $55 for members $75 for non-members.
