Coaching Sessions

BM organises a monthly coaching session for graduate drivers. Each session provides drivers with 3 x 10 minute runs. Bayford's dedicated driver coaches are always on hand to give graduates advice and instructions and help them improve their performance.

Midweek Series

Drivers will now have the opportunity to experience a Time Trial; the "Bayford TT". Each session will involve a practice and a qualifying, finishing off with a race against the clock! The winner being the driver with the fastest overall race time... Not necessarily the first to cross the finish line!

The aim of this format is to encourage and improve drivers focus, consistency and pace.
