Hi All,
I did my first Autosolo yesterday with Sixty and Worcestershire Motor Club and can say that it was a brilliant day.
All the chaps there were expecting me as the newbie and were really happy to give me as many tips as I could remember.
Although my times were way down the leader board I was happy to have only done one wrong test all day and looking forward to the next one.
A couple of runs from my day:
Hi
Glad you had a good day. Agree with you this is fun and you are correct everyone is very friendly and helpful.
Have now done four and now feel more confident but still hit a cone and also got a penalty for overshooting the stop line at the weekend, never mind, shows your trying!
Did the last one of the Anglian Motor Sport club meeting on Sunday and we had 16 drivers in the ‘B’ Class all in MX5’s, several were OC members.
Tried to log onto your U tube footage but it was shown as private so I could not see it. Maybe it was me…
It was good to have the demo layout to try at the National. Is it something that could be done at the replacement ‘Blyton’ ?
Looking forward to next season.

Hi
Have tried the link and it now works. Good pics.
Glad to hear the article has inspired at least one person to give it a go. I have now done two more since the article and still get the Buzz.
Have more fun
Andrew
I had another blast today Andrew, well it was a bit of a wonder round more like…already I am wanting to understand a lot more about this style of driving, the lines you should take and how the cars handle. I have got quite a reading list!
It was a charity day at Castle Combe circuit and Bristol Motor Club put on the Autosolo Slalom, for £20 you got a sighter lap with a mentor and then 3 runs and the good thing being that the majority of the fee went to the charity, Stroke Association.
Have a look at the youtube video and if you have any pointers for me they would be much appreciated:
Also here is a video of a few of the other cars going round the slalom:
