Accrington Motor Sport Club are organising an autosolo on September 6 at the M65 Blackburn with Darwen Services.

“For those who haven’t entered an Autosolo before, they consist of all forwards timed tests on a hard surface,” said clerk of the course Steve Johnson.

“Although there is no passenger they are not a memory contest as numbers and markers help you find your way around.

“One score is dropped per test layout in the Clubsport event to allow for those ‘little disasters’.

“Although modified cars are allowed, all competing vehicles have to be road legal and be driven to the event.

“Competitors are divided into groups, whilst one group competes, another marshals and the third takes a well-earned rest.

“This results in an action packed day for all.”

Autosolos are relatively new to this country but have a large following in the USA. They have proved to be an ideal low cost introduction to motor sport for beginners, particularly teenagers, and a means of past competitors to return to the sport.

As a National B event, the autosolo is a round of five championships, the ANWCC Autosolo, ANWCC All-rounders, SD34 Off-Road Championships and the SD34 Inter club League.

Scrutineering and signing on takes place from 8.45am, with the first test starting at 10am.
