New Year Driving Tests, Brooklands Museum, Sunday 3 February - Entries Closing Soon!

Wednesday 16 January 2013

Entries close soon for our celebrated New Year Driving Tests so if you have yet to submit your entry, do not delay!
To be held at the Brooklands Museum on Sunday 3 February, the event always attracts a good crowd of competitors and spectators to the historic venue, with Tests scattered across the site, including the famous ‘Test Hill’. It has long been an activity to rid those post-Christmas blues and to give the car a good run out at the start of the new season’s competitive calendar.
 
VSCC Driving Tests are a terrific introduction to Pre-war motor sport, demanding good car control at low speeds whilst being one of the cheapest disciplines (Entry Fee £48, ½ Price for those aged under 30 years on 1 January 2013*). As such, they often attract a good number of younger competitors (minimum Competitor Age is 16, no Driving Licence required – restricted to Touring Cars under 1400cc). Read more about our Driving Tests HERE.

* New for 2013
 
The closing deadline for the event is fast-approaching on Monday 21 January so you still have a chance to submit your entry. Visit the Event Page HERE to enter online (must have a current credit card lodged with the Club) or to download an Entry Form to complete and return. Shared entries are also being accepted.
 
If your car is still in ‘hibernation’ after the winter break or if you don’t own an eligible car, why not get involved and volunteer to marshal? Always a great social occasion, the event is dependant on its band of volunteers to help run the tests so earn yourself some “brownie points” for the 2013 season ahead! Read more about Marshalling and how to volunteer HERE.
