The British Automobile Racing Club is poised to stage the Southern Car Club AutoSOLO at Thruxton Circuit on Sunday 21st July.

Designed to test precision and car control on a fun course laid out in the Thruxton paddock, the competition is open to all BARC members – with prizes awarded to the top BARC finisher and the top BARC Junior under 21.

The aim of an AutoSOLO is to negotiate as quickly as possible a memorised, low-speed course without hitting any markers – it is all about car control and is only open to standard road cars, which must be driven to and from the event.

Whilst the event may be at slower pace to the normal sort of events that take place at Thruxton, AutoSOLOs are still highly competitive and leave thousands of competitors all over the country smiling.

The course will be laid out in the paddock at Thruxton and will be marked out by plastic pylons or cones. There will be a number of tests to tackle, with two attempts at each.

The driver with the lowest accumulated time is the winner, although penalties are incurred for hitting cones, failing to stop on a line, or for taking the wrong route. Due to AutoSOLO being a low-speed event, there is no need for special safety gear which means that anyone with a car can enter.

Regulations and entry details for the event can be found HERE.
