October 23rd 2011 will see West Cumbria Motorsport Club run two rounds of the Autotest Championship, held at Kirkbride Airfield, Wigton, CA7 5HP.

We are also going to be running a small Autosolo at the same time. You can enter both events as they will be running along side each other. This will hopefully show those who haven’t yet competed in an autosolo what they are all about, and increase numbers for next years championship.

If you would like to take part in this fantastic day of motorsport, please complete the form linked below and send it to Ryan Winthrop before 9th October.

Q: What is an Autosolo?

Autosolos can only be done in a road legal car which is taxed, MOT tested and insured. The car also needs to be driven to the event.
Competitors only need a club membership car to qualify, no competition licences or special equipment is needed.
Can be entered by individuals as young as 16 subject to certain conditions.
Autosolos are run on sealed tarmac venues in West Cumbria, entry fees are usually about £15 for the day.
During an autosolo you drive around a course marked out by numbered cones as quickly as you can, without incident. You will only go forwards in autosolos, there is no need to reverse and you will never need to use your handbrake. Each run is timed and the lowest time after all tests are completed is deemed the winner.

Q: What is an Autotest?

Autotests are similar to autosolos. The object is that the organiser lays out a course of cones, and the competitors have to complete this course in the fastest time possible without incident. Penalties occur if you hit any of the cones setting out the course. Reverse gear is used on occasions.

Competitors only need a club membership card to enter and the entry fee tends to be £10.
Young drivers can compete, again subject to certain conditions.
Autotests take place on either grass or tarmac surfaces.
Usually run on Sundays and Monday evenings at various West Cumbria locations.
