FAQs
Will I wear my tyres? - Whilst this largely depends from driver to driver, you should expect some minor tyre wear.
Can my friends and partners come out for passenger rides? Yes.
What happens if it rains? It will still run - you'll just be a lot more sideways, and we will be a lot more wet. MoT has a full marquee which will be erected for customers to keep out of the elements.
My cars stock! Is that no good? Not at all, you will learn more in a stock car than you will in a modified one, so no excuse there!
Are there noise limits - We do run a self imposed noise limit of approximately 100dB. If we feel your car is exceptionally loud, we may ask you to either keep your revs down or fit a silencing bung. If the car cannot be silenced, then we may unfortunately have to end your day early.
'Our price' is the 'Drivers Club' discounted price. We add a delivery charge for non members on top of this, typically around 10-15%. Joining the drivers club removes this charge, and costs only £29 for a years subscription! Bargain!
