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.

Familiarisation Laps

Also known as 'ducks and drakes', the familiarisation laps are carried out behind a pace car and give you a chance to experience each bend at a reduced speed and get a feel for the racing line.
