04/04/2006 13:28:23 Dave [B][SIZE=4]Booking is now open, but only through the Motorsports Vision booking system - [/SIZE][/B][URL="http://www.motorsportvision.co.uk/mgot"][B][SIZE=4][COLOR=#800080]click here[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B][/URL] Last year we arranged a beginner's evening at Donington and it was a great success. This year in collaboration with Motorsport Visions (MSV), the owners of Brands Hatch, we're arranging another novice only evening event. The idea, as before, is to encourage those of you that have never been out on track before to give it a go. So, I'm probably talking to over 650 of you on this mailing list! MSV are making a real effort and piling on the support for novice drivers. The evening begins with a detailed safety briefing, covering everything from track day rules, through car preparation to driving techniques. At 17:00 MSV race instructors will drive you around the circuit in minibuses explaining everything they know about the track. To ease you into track driving you'll begin with a few laps behind a pace car giving you a feel for the circuit before you tackle it on your own. From 17:30 until 20:00 the famous Brands Hatch Indy circuit is all yours! Instructors will be available for personal tuition and some MGoT old hands will be around to sit in passenger seats if you just need some moral support. More details on the MGoT website. Please ignore the 'hidden' status of the event - it's a website bug I'm afraid. Booking is open now, but only through the MSV website, see: [URL="http://www.motorsportvision.co.uk/mgot"]http://www.motorsportvision.co.uk/mgot[/URL]
