Legends Cars test drives


Here's what we have in store for 2005:

  • A 14 round British National Championship - now in its 10th year
  • A 10 round Scottish Championship

We can offer you Test Drives at a facility located in the Midlands. £195 will give you :

  • A personal safety briefing
  • A comprehensive briefing on the Legends Car's controls
  • Sessions in a Legends Car

No previous racing experience is required, but you do need to bring along your full road driving licence. If you purchase a Legends Car from us we will reduce the price by £100.

We limit the number of places available on each day, to ensure that each driver gets maximum track time with the minimum of fuss.

To reserve your place, phone us on 0845 1305 600. For further information please email us. Please make sure you include either a telephone number or an email address.

The MSA Go Racing Pack

This is the first part of the process of obtaining a racing licence. It contains an MSA competitor's Yearbook (the 'Blue Book'), an introductory video and the necessary application forms to start you on the way to obtaining your licence.

Order your Go Racing pack from the Motorsports Association. As of January 2004 this costs £46. This link should take you directly to the correct page on the MSA site.

The Medical and the ARDS Test

To go circuit racing you will need a racing licence, which is issued by the Royal Automobile Club Motor Sports Association (MSA). To qualify for a licence you must complete an 'ARDS' (Association of Racing Drivers Schools) course. Most major circuit run these courses. Before you attend your test you need to obtain a medical certificate (over 18's only). Your GP can normally do this - you are liable for the cost. The certificate form is included in your 'Go Racing' pack.

There are two parts to the course - a written test and a track driving test. The written test is could cover any aspect of the 'blue book' which you receive as part of your MSA 'Go Racing' pack, but will almost certainly include sections on flag signals and safety issues. The driving test is to prove to the instructor who will be sitting alongside you that you can drive safely on a racing circuit.

Once you have successfully completed an ARDS test you may then apply for an MSA competition licence.

Racing Licence and Club Memberships

Once you have passed your ARDS test you can apply for your MSA competition licence. You will receive a National 'B' licence, the lowest grade permitted for circuit racing in the UK. This permits you to race in any event which specifies National 'B' as the minimum licence (including Legends).

You will need to join the club which organises your championship - either the British Automobile Racing Club (BARC) or the Scottish Motor Racing Club (SMRC), depending on which Legends series you will be racing in.

Finally, you will need to pay a membership fee to INEX, the worldwide sanctioning body for Legends Cars.

All licences and memberships are renewable annually (examples at June 2001: National 'B' - £38, BARC - around £90, INEX - around £75).
