PAST EVENT
Sunday 14th of October 2012 - Funkhana
Open to all MX-5 owners, with preference given to Club Members.
This event will be held on the morning of Sunday 14th October.
This event is specifically run for those who have never participated in motor sport or Autotest competitors, who want try varying techniques without the pressure of competition.
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.
No Competition Licence required.

You MUST meet these requirements or you will not be able to drive and will loose your event payment.
