Nick Jones Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Quoted from Jason Nick - in the absence of an "official" answer I think it's safe to say cars can be double (and even triple) driven - if they are up to it The emphasis is on getting as many out on the track as possible so any slight rules issues can and will be dealt with pragmatically - it is after all our event so if we want to vary something I'm sure we can!

Jonny-Jimbo Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Have entered the Vitesse but it may not be ready, in which case I will be taking either the MX5 or the 540. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 That is a strong "cake-supplying-avoidance" technique! Did you take advice from your Panama connection? 😉Hope you have a good time. We can rearrange your birthday celebrations until the STMD in July 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard w Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I'd quite like to do this, my engine noises have disappeared - the wonders of a self-fixing engine! Do I need a co-driver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 No, but please get your application in asap....And feel free to bring a friend who would like to have a go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Nope, just yourself and a car! I think long sleeves are required, not sure about helmets.Anyone clarify on that matter?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Def no helmet, in fact they may actually be prohibitted.Have done them in short sleeves in a Spitfire, helps keep the tan topped up!CheersColin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 No helmets, nothing about long sleeves either. The rules are very relaxed. Just needs a car that would pass an MoT (especially battery properly fixed down)The speeds are relatively low, the chances to do any real damage are few and far between. except cones. They get squished every now and again (sorry) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velocita Rosso Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Quoted from cliftyhanger That wasn't me! No, it was a certain big guy from Lewes.....I know it was an airstrip ....but trying to take off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Fair enough, just thought it was worth checking if that was required. Obviously on trackdays they say long sleeves and helmets...I hope not to end up in the pond by the car park at Gaydon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 That is the beauty of the autosolo, you don't need anything special to enter Proper grassroots motorsport, and cheap as well. And amazing fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard w Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Entry went in the post last night. Didn't know what class I should put though as class C seemed like it was the right one, but said 1501cc to 2000cc except Triumph 2000s, so I circled class D instead 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Hi allIf you are intending to enter and haven't yet, please contact Nigel Abdullah and get your completed entry form in straight away... With current entry numbers, the event is in serious doubt, and would be a shame to have to pull it due to lack of interest.CheersEllis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shed66 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Quoted from Velocita Rosso No, it was a certain big guy from Lewes.....I know it was an airstrip ....but trying to take off? I didn't quite make the field...someone put a bank in the way..in my defence i was suffering from PTSD and momentarily lost the ability to steer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Weather looks perfect for Sunday. Warm, light winds, dry and light cloud so we don't get fried. Nice 😎Just need to pack the car with the usual tat an buy some cake... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 There is a thing in the regs about driving standards and safety. It reads like sliding a car is not allowed - which was the whole point in me entering in the 5 series... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I think anything about driver standards etc is about not being an ar*e and putting people at risk. ie in the carparks, actually trying to do the correct route, that sort of thing. You will be fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 Looks like there will be 30 no entrants taking part.Shame more from the Club have not entered, couple of stragglers entered late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be fine! Ah, that's fine then - just to clarify, I'm not saying I'm a good driver at all, I just want to have a bit of fun with the car in a safe environment.

thescrapman Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I thought the whole point of Autosolos was to have Mahoooosive power slides and the odd-doughnut thrown in. Best way to get the 10/10 for artistic impression.Only works if you have 30+ year old tyres that are rock hard.Has the added benefit of reducing the loads on the suspension considerably.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
