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 minumum 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 G 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!
