The Foxley Autosolo

Sunday 12th February 2012


Herefordshire Motorclub will be running its first autosolo on 12th February at Foxley estate.

AutoSolo's, to use the MSA's official term, are a relatively new form of low cost, non-specialist motor sport for the UK, using road going cars, and equally enjoyable for novices and experienced competitors.  Basically a more open all forwards autotest!!


What is involved ?

A route will be marked around Foxley using traffic cones, to help you find your way around, motorclub arrows are used to show which side of the cone you must use.  When you have to drive between a pair of cones.  You will be given time to learn the route before the event starts.

When you arrive at the start line, the marshal will start the clock as you pull away, you must then drive around the course without touching any of the cones. There will be no requirements to reverse or stop astride lines but you must follow the correct route.

There will usually be 4 different routes laid out during the day and you should get 3 runs at each with your best 2 runs to count.  The winner is the driver who has the lowest total score at the end of the day.


What kind of car can I use ?

Any road legal car may be entered, smaller hatchbacks are very popular but even large saloons will be able to negotiate the course. Tax discs must be displayed and if the car is over 3 years old, you must be able to produce the MOT certificate.

The emphasis is on skill not outright speed, so unlike other forms of motorsport, you would have to do something silly to cause any damage. You can compete in your car on the Sunday and still drive to work on the Monday.


Can I share a car with another driver?

Yes - up to 2 drivers may share the same car, but no passengers!


Do I have to have a road traffic licence ?

No - in fact drivers aged 16 and over may enter an AutoSolo, there are car restrictions for drivers under 17 in that the car must have 4 seats and the engine must not exceed 1600cc and must not have a turbo or supercharger.


Do I need a competition licence?

No - you will need to be a member of Herefordshire motor club or club which has been invited to participate.

Entry will be available for £18 on the day, however, entry is limited to 30 so to put a provisional entry in please text or ring Chris Powell on 07786 243524.  The regs are also enclosed with the Bull.
