Have any of the new-comers applied for their ARDS yet? If so where are you taking it and when?

I'm hoping to do mine at Croft as I know the circuit well and I figured there's enough to cope with on the day without driving an unfamiliar circuit to me such as Silverstone.

Cheers, Joo

i did mine at Knockhill.
Good circuit, good circuit cars (leon Cupras) good instructor and I was the only one there on the day, so totally unrushed test, theory and driving.

Well Croft and knock are both way too far from me, and Brans only do the test, no training.
so looks like siverstone for me.

John, could you please let me know the details as I would also like to take the ARDS test at some point, although I haven't applied for the MSA pack yet. I'm away for the next couple of weeks, but if you could drop me a PM I would be very grateful.
