AutoSolo
AutoSOLOs give budding racers the chance to compete without having the expense of a purpose-built racing car, racewear and a competition licence.
Overview
Derived from ‘Auto Tests’, AutoSolos are relatively new to the UK, and a form of competitive motorsport that is all about having fun.
Drivers must manoeuvre a standard road car as quickly as possible around a course marked out by a series of numbered cones. Each competitor has three runs, and their best two times are submitted. The course is then run in the reverse direction. During the lunch break, the course is changed and the format of runs is repeated.
At the end of the day, the entrant with the fastest overall time in each class is the winner.

All competing vehicles must be driven to the event and must be in a roadworthy condition, with a current MOT (if applicable). Owing to the relatively low speeds, there is no requirement to wear a helmet or race suit.
Entries may be accepted from drivers who are 16 and over without a full driving licence, provided the vehicle used is by definition a ‘touring car’. It’s worth noting that it is often the smaller, more nimble cars that do well rather than the larger, more powerful ones.
All competitors must now hold a minimum of a Motorsport UK RS Clubman licence. These licences are free of charge and will also gain you Motorsport UK member benefits, which help to make motorsport that little bit easier to compete in. Please click here to apply.

Any vehicle with forced induction should multiply the engine capacity by 1.4 (as per the equivalency formula) and then enter into the correct class after this formula has been applied.
The minimum number of entrants in each class is three, below that the class will be amalgamated with another that is most suitable.
All entered cars must be road going. Cars must be driven to the event via the public highway.
