As a result of the record numbers of novice drivers attending our Club trackdays in recent years we are delighted to offer another chance to participate in another Club Novice Trackday at the Centrally located Mallory Park racing circuit. This circuit is great fun in a Seven and provides a good mix of high-speed running and technical sections.
This Club-exclusive event is aimed specifically at members who class themselves as a novice or newcomer, or those who may need a comprehensive refresh after a substantial period away from any track activity. It will be ideal for those who want to get on track with the Club in a friendly, supportive and structured environment.
As a result of the success of selling out our last eight novice events we have again provided for a significant number of participants – up to 27 cars – whilst maintaining a superb ‘instructor to driver’ ratio. Following the extended briefing session, track activity will start with members divided into groups, with no more than nine cars on track at any one time and with pre-allocated instructor slots. Later in the day we will move to a controlled Open Pit Lane approach – though still with a limit to the number of cars on track and plenty of one-to-one instruction being available throughout.
Mallory Park is known as the friendly circuit for good reason, all the staff there are extremely helpful, and the onsite cafe is superb. Built in 1956 the circuit still retains its original layout. The circuit looks very simple on paper with only 5 corners making up the lap, but it features one of the fastest and most challenging corners in UK racing, as well as the slowest hairpin and will challenge even the most seasoned driver.
The paddock area is spacious, and spectating is good so there will be a great club atmosphere at this popular and centrally located circuit.
The noise limit is 98db static and 98db? drive by. Mallory Park monitors noise and any vehicle not complying will not be allowed on track, please ensure you are confident that your car isn't over the limit.
The cost to participate is set at £250 for a car and main driver; an additional driver (who must be a Club member) will cost £65 (only one additional driver per car) and passengers will be welcome at £5 per head.
This is definitely a date to book and enjoy!
Cars will not be permitted onto the circuit unless fitted with an MSA-acceptable rollbar or roll cage. In practice, this normally means the use of the ‘trackday’ or ‘FIA’ rollbars as supplied by Caterham Cars. Please see our Trackday Safety Requirements and Recommendations document which includes Club guidance on rollbars and safety requirements.
