Hi Peeter,

Thanks for that.

Will be at some of those events next year, certainly Donington.


Cheers.

Hi Guys

Sorry I have not been on the Forum recently.

Thanks for this post Peter.  I was going to put this information up myself when I have some clarity on some other things we (CT Comps Ctty) are working on for 2016.

Target - Get my Vitesse going for the Donington event!

What is the limitation on cars for these track days?

Hi J-J

Information about the event is at http://www.mgs-on-track.com/events/190/donington_park_2016-03-14.htm

The main limitation is on the noise level emitted by the car.  None is given yet for Donington, but if you can achieve 98Db you should be OK.  Other than that full race cars are permitted, but it helps if you put that in your cars description when you book.

Okay, just thinking that if my Vitesse isn't up to it I might take my BMW, which is a classic in insurance terms being 21 years old...

Hi J-J

I am not sure what you mean by limitations.  MG-o-T track days are for MGs and Triumphs are permitted by special agreement.  BMWs are not permitted, unless by special agreement, which is unlikely.  So long as a Triumph is roadworthy and not leaking fluids or has parts about to fall off, eg exhaust, battery, bodywork etc and it can make the noise limitation for the circuit and the driver has signed the indemnities and has an appropriate helmet and is dressed with long sleeves and trousers the car and driver are likely to be eligible.

I think I have directed you to this guide before, but CT has a guide to Track Days.  Reading this will answer a lot of your questions.

Has the new MSV helmet policy been pointed out here?
Any MSV track, you must wear a full-face helmet in an open car, roof up or down.
They will rent you a helmet if you ask, best to book.

MSV own Brands, Cadwell, Snetterton, Oulton Park and Bedford Autodrome

Yes, Chris post is the one before this on the trackday section!

I am sure this has been a requirement elsewhere for ages? Anyway, when I got my helmet a few years ago I bought full face for that reason.
