Kev

Join the club.

Come to the next beginners autotest at Mondello.

Talk to competitors and organisers

Learn the way thing work;
autotesting is also a great way to learn car control for rallying.

Take a bit of time at the start and you will avoid unecessary cost and mistakes

We might also get you to marshall : a good way to learn the rules.

Hope to see you in Mondello on the 24th

Tim

Autotesting is about car manouvering and control : following a pre-set course doing handbrake turns and front throws onto lines and around pylons.

It's very focussed to be good at it ; boy racers attempt the type of driving but not very well.

Have a look at this , taken at our International event in May :

Watch, learn and ask questions are very much part of starting

No charge for spectators or officials : competitors pay around € 40 - € 50 per event entry fee + their own car costs.

Regs are on the site ; 11.00 o'clock at Mondello driver tuiton pad beside first corner on Sunday Week.
