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!
