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.
Further Information

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.
