COMPETITION DRIVING/ TRACK DRIVING

In a survey, over 30% of people would like to take up motorsport as a hobby - only 1% will ever live their dream.

Lets face it, the closest most people get to motorsport, is ordering the Sports Pack on their company car! If you want to get closer to the real action our Motorsport section offers lots of free information for newcomers and also the amateur competitor.

Are you serious about being more than just another track day participant? We offer professional race and rally driver training with professional race/rally drivers. Email us for more info or visit our Thruxton page here.

Perhaps you have a passion for speed but are a bit too old to be a boyracer. Maybe you have a dream about buying that classic sports car you have always wanted. Whatever your motivation is to go racing, remember it can be as expensive or as cheap as you want (within reason!)

A typical World Rally Team spends around £60m a year to run a whole rally team. Even novice rally drivers can spend over £20,000 a year.

For many of us, motor sport and track driving is a distant dream mainly due to the cost. Motor sport and track driving is not cheap (especially if you crash!). Drivers Domain UK - Motorsport is dedicated to helping you take any interest that one stage further. You will be surprised how starting out in motor sport or simply attending track days can be a great deal cheaper than you may think!

The very first thing to do if you are serious about getting on the motorsport ladder is to surf around this section; it has plenty of information to get you started.

The main things you need to consider before you decide which area of motor sport you wish to compete in are your financial resources, knowledge of cars, and time you have to give. For example, hill climbing can be done in a near-standard car, is usually cheap and generally does not involve a great deal of your time other than at weekend meetings. You don’t need to be an F1 mechanic either! Whereas special stage rallying can be very expensive (especially if you crash); you will also need a willing co-driver and a good knowledge of rally cars unless, that is, you are willing to pay for a team of mechanics!
