They really let me drive that car!
"When I arrived at the Birmingham racetrack and saw the format, I thought that can't be for us. But after a short introduction and safety briefing we were on the track in the cars and racing full on. It was a thrilling ride in the race prepared vehicles and good fun with the other Red Letter Days competitors. I would do it again and recommend it as an experience."

There will generally be 32 drivers in a session, and you will take to the track in groups of 8.

During the course of the event, you will take part in a practice session (4 laps) Heat 1 (8 laps) and Heat 2 (8 laps).

Based on the points scored in your heat sessions, the steward of the meeting will stream you into your Championship Final (10 laps) - an electrifying race that will pit you against drivers of a similar ability.

Time permitting, and at the discretion of the Steward, the winners of the four Feature Finals, will line up for the Showdown Shoot Out Race (8 laps) to find the overall winner of the event!
