Our Novice Only Trackdays allow anyone to experience the thrill
of driving on a race track without the pressure of being surrounded
by more experienced circuit drivers in racing or purpose
built track cars.
If you have never taken part in a trackday before, or you have only
taken part in a few events, then a Novice Only day is a great place
to start. High performance cars are by no means necessary, although
they are also welcome!
Participating at a Club MSV trackday isn't about driving on the
limit, it's an opportunity to experience the performance of your
car within a safe, controlled and professional environment. You'll
have the opportunity to learn new driving skills that are useful
not only on the track, but the road as well.
To help you to improve your driving line around the circuit, brake
boards and apex cones will provide a constant guide of where your
car should be positioned so that you are as smooth as possible
through each corner. In addition to this, we have qualified race
instructors on hand ready to offer you advice and one-to-one in-car
tuition, for a small fee.
Please note: Novice Only Trackdays are for
drivers who have attended up to a maximum of three trackdays
before. If you are an experienced trackday driver please do not
book into a Novice Only Day as you will not be permitted to take
part and will not be offered a refund on your booking. Race cars
and / or slick tyres are also not permitted.
