About the experience
So you want to take the next step and actually go motor racing.
With Thruxton Motorsport Centre we offer the ARDS test with additional track time before you take the test in the Race Prepared Mazda RX-8.
Mazda's RX-8 caused a storm when it was launched in 2004. In the same year Mazda launched a Motorsport initiative using the RX-8 for a race series, all drivers behind the wheel of identical race prepared Mazda RX-8's. The championship was broadcast on ITV and was a huge success. Now you can drive these race prepared Mazda RX-8's on the fastest circuit in the UK.
The Race Spec RX-8 is an intensive driving experience. Your instructor will help develop your driving skills as you enjoy your time behind the wheel. with the intention of helping you pass the ARDS test at the end of the day.
Before the day participents must apply to the MSA for a 'Go racing' pack for a National B competition licence,which will include
• Licence application form
• ‘Go Racing’ video
• MSA yearbook
• ‘Starting Motorsport’ handbook
• Association of Racing Drivers Schools leaflet.
Participents must then have a medical examination with your doctor and ensure that the form is signed and returned to you. This must be completed before your course.
After completing the tutition in the Mazda RX-8 the ARDS part of the course will start, consisting of:
• Classroom briefing,
• Driving test. The instructor will demonstrate the lines and technique to you before you drive for a minimum of 5 laps.
• A multiple choice exam.
Please remember that although you will receive tuition and help on your course the main purpose is to test your suitability to hold a competition licence.
