If you have not previously been to an autotest, then why not give it a go? These events are actually being run as autosolos which are a bit more open and easier to manage for newbies.  It's basically like a mini sprint round a course of cones and gates.  You will be lucky to get out of first or second gear so reletively low speed and is a great chance to try out your driving skills without great risk.[/color]

The site is located near Ardrossan and is managed by Irvine Bay Events who are keen to promote motorsport usage of the site. [/color]

Lou_m and I did this last year and it was great fun and low pressure.  We entered in the rear-wheel drive, road going class and actually managed to win a couple of rounds.  You can do it in any car (guy did it in his mum's aygo) but it would be good to see some more VX's there.  thumbsup

That's a shame Mr Donkey.  :(

 

No-one else interested in having a go?   I think I might have almost convinced claws to go.

The routes will not be too tight or twisty, so should be newbie friendly and well suited to VX/loti [/color]Posted Image[color=rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(225,235,242);] [/color]
