GETTING
STARTED

Car
Racing
Circuit
racing enjoys the highest profile, thanks largely to the popularity of
F1, and with more than 200 race meetings at the many circuits throughout
the British Isles, there are countless opportunities to get to grips with
racing cars.
|
|
Rallying
Rallying
is equally diverse. While the stars of tomorrow are perfecting their spectacular
driving skills in the premiere MSA British Rally Championship, simple road
rallies are one of the cheapest forms of motor sports available. All you
need is a road legal car plus, of course, a desire to have some fun on four
wheels. |
|
|
Hill
Climbs & Sprints
Hill
climbs and Sprints are run against the clock but this time over a measured
distance at venues ranging from disused airfields to the driveways of
picturesque private estates.
|
|
|
Karting
Traditionally the starting point for racing drivers, karting
can give competitors their first experience of wheel-to-wheel action.
As karts can be significantly cheaper than cars, karting offers huge opportunities
for aspiring racers at a fraction of the cost.
|
|
|
Autotests
Autotests,
one of the cheapest and most enjoyable forms of motor sport, puts the
emphasis on precision driving rather than flat out speed, employing spin
turns, reverse flicks and handbrake turns to negotiate the set route in
the shortest possible time.
|
|
|
Off-Road
For those
wanting to tackle more inhospitable terrain, a wide range of off-road
events are on offer including competitive safaris, hill rallies and trials.
|
|
|
Rallycross
Then
there is rallycross an explosive sport that combines much of the
pulsating head-to-head competition offered by circuit racing with the
slippery surfaces usually reserved for rallying.
|
|
|
Autocross
Autocross
boasts many similar attractions, although cars compete individually against
the clock on a temporary circuit laid out on a grass field.
|
|
|
Trials
Trials
are the oldest form of motor sport that gave rise to hill climbs, sprints,
rallies and autotests. The competitive element in a trial is the ability
to climb gradients of varying difficulty.
|
|
|
Drag
Racing
For those
who want something even faster, drag racing takes sprinting to its extreme
with a wide variety of classes catering for road-going saloons to flame-spitting
300mph machines.
