I've read a handful of threads about getting into motorsport and it's inspired me a little bit. I have a decent amount of experience doing public track days, but I'd like to do something a little more competitive.

Can anyone recommend any car clubs in the East Midlands area, preferably Nottinghamshire, that offer auto testing/autosolos etc?

I also stumbled across Curborough whilst reading the forums and would be interested in having a day there. Does anyone from the forum organise private days there or know a car club that does?

Thank you for the replies jimbobs & Wingo.

jimbobs - Awesome, I'll check them out. I'd initially use my Mazda Mx-5 (Mk1), but could be tempted to use my BMW Z3 too.

Wingo - That's brilliant, it looks like there's loads of events on the calendar! I look forward to seeing what next years looks like.

Went to Donington Park for Round 3 of the Autosolo Winter Series yesterday. I was only planning on watching and giving a helping hand, but was persuaded to get involved. It didn't take much twisting of my arm! I had a really great day out and it was great to be able to just turn up in your road car and compete. A completely different challenge to track day driving though, I definitely need some more practice!
