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.

Our monthly 'Graduate Race' enables drivers to test their improving skills. They take part in a 3 x 10 minute races with 3 lap practice/ qualifying before each race. Trophies are awarded to the top drivers as they earn points  towards an overall 'Graduates Championship' that runs throughout the year. As always, our goal is not simply for drivers to have a competitive race but for them to maintain a high standard of race craft both on and off the circuit. Our experienced driver coaches are always on hand to give driving advice to all competitors.
