Nick - in the absence of an "official" answer I think it's safe to say cars can be double (and even triple) driven - if they are up to it The emphasis is on getting as many out on the track as possible so any slight rules issues can and will be dealt with pragmatically - it is after all our event so if we want to vary something I'm sure we can!

That is a strong "cake-supplying-avoidance" technique! Did you take advice from your Panama connection?  

Hope you have a good time. We can rearrange your birthday celebrations until the STMD in July

Nope, just yourself and a car! I think long sleeves are required, not sure about helmets.

Anyone clarify on that matter??

Def no helmet, in fact they may actually be prohibitted.

Have done them in short sleeves in a Spitfire, helps keep the tan topped up!

No helmets, nothing about long sleeves either. The rules are very relaxed. Just needs a car that would pass an MoT (especially battery properly fixed down)

The speeds are relatively low, the chances to do any real damage are few and far between. except cones. They get squished every now and again (sorry)

Fair enough, just thought it was worth checking if that was required. Obviously on trackdays they say long sleeves and helmets...

I hope not to end up in the pond by the car park at Gaydon...

That is the beauty of the autosolo, you don't need anything special to enter
Proper grassroots motorsport, and cheap as well. And amazing fun
