We are pleased to be returning to the Silverstone Arena GP circuit once again this year. We will be operating from the Heritage pits, not the new Wing complex. The circuit is as used for the British Grand Prix. It is 1/2 mile longer than the previous "old" GP circuit and the Arena section is a real technical challenge. This is a three session per hour day with each session lasting 20 minutes. We expect each car to have 2 hours of track time throughout the day, assuming no stoppages. There is only one MG session with the two other sessions being taken by partner car clubs so book early to ensure your space.
Beginners / First Timers please note that due to restrictions in our contract with Silverstone we regret that first time track day drivers may not participate in this day.
Instruction
We
encourage all drivers to take the opportunity of instruction with our
Association of Racing Drivers Schools (ARDS) Grade A qualified instructors. We
strongly advise all levels of experience to take advantage of this. Please note
we are unable to provide more than two instruction sessions per car. Any
additional booked will have to be cancelled. We regret that instruction is not
available in cars which are not fitted with seatbelts.
Coaching
MGoT is pleased to offer an
opportunity to develop specific areas of your driving skills to increase your
track day enjoyment. Before you spend any more cash on improvements to your car
consider this. MGoT will now offer drivers, dedicated, one-on-one coaching with
an ARDS instructor for your entire afternoon track time. Places are very
limited and the cost is an unbelievable £40! Book and pay at the same time you
book your place by selecting the coaching option.
Helmet Hire
We have helmets available to hire on a first come, first
served basis and these can be booked online at the same time as you book your
place.
Second Drivers
You
can book to bring along a second driver but we can only allow one additional
driver per car. The second driver must sit as passenger during the sighting
laps and then perform their own sighting laps at a lower speed during their
first session on track. If your second driver's experience is significantly
different to your own, please discuss this with our event manager.
Passengers
Passengers
are free, bring as many as you like but only one in a car at a time. Please
either enter their names when you book or email the event manager to let them
know.
Details about the day
We
will email an event guide with final instructions about a week before the
event. Please read it carefully when it arrives. The event guide will also be
posted in the forum. This day is open to MGs and compatible marques.
Please contact the Event Manager listed at the top of this page to ensure your
non-MG is considered compatible. We reserve the right to cancel non
compatibles.
Cars
must be road legal and comply with current MoT legislation where appropriate
(or be of MoT standard for race and track-only cars). Drivers must bring their
FULL driving licence to sign-on. Failure to do this may mean you will not be allowed
on track.
