| Club MSV can help you take one of the first steps to becoming a
racing driver, with an official ARDS National B racing licence test
at any one of our five circuits. Sitting the test is the MSA's
minimum requirement and a great introduction to motorsport, ahead
of what we hope will be years of happy racing. |
|
After watching the MSA
video you will sit the first part of the test which is a two-part
written assessment to check your knowledge of Section Q of the
MSA Competitors and Officials Yearbook (blue book) on Car
Racing.
Then, it's on to the driving part of the test where where
one of our instructors will assess your track driving during a 20
minute lapping session in one of our vehicles*.
You must be able to demonstrate that you
are competant driver on circuit and that you can lap
consistantly in a safe and controlled manner amongst other
'traffic'. You must also show your knowledge of the racing line and
ultimately assure the instructor that you are safe and able to
enter your first race.
Don't worry - they will not be looking for you to set a new lap
record and although it is a test, we think you'll enjoy yourself as
well! If you think that you need some training on track prior to
sitting your test, visit the Driver Training section of the
website.
If you haven't done so already, you
can order your Go Racing Pack (£65 plus P+P), from the
Go Racing
section of our website. It contains your application form,
DVD and MSA blue book to prepare you for the ARDS test. Then
it's as simple as booking an appropriate date!
