autocross videos for those who want to see what it is about

Just a side note, the SIDC are registered with the MSA, so anyone who is a fully paid up member doesn't need to join another motor sports club to participate in events. We've had quite a few people over the years compete at various events.

Thanks for the vid post Ian, worth pointing out that we don't start our cars 4 at a time like you guys. How do you get awaw with doing that rules wise, doesn't it blur the line between Autocross ans Rallycross? Might be worth seeing if we can start doing it like that!

Didnt know that John, thanks for letting me know! How about a club entry? A few of your guys club together, buy and prepare a wee 1.2 4WD Justy or something, paint it in SIDC colours and enter as a team? Worth considering!

The 4 off the line is the way the ANECC boys have always done it. Bear in mind it is times that count not placings otherwise it would be rallycross.

As regards the licence situation, it is a little more complicated. The SIDC card will get you on a closed to club grade event if the SIDC is a member of a club assoc or is a club invited to the event. Otherwise you need a MSA licence. For autocross you need a Nat B non-race although the clubcross mighht be different as you can run them at closed to club level I think.

Costs for autocross are the cheapest in motorsport. You do need space and a trailer though. £40 for an event £35 for a licence, £30 a tyre that last forever. £15 of gas for the event.

Best value motorsport there is!

So if someone wanted to run a scoob. you need a car, a seat and harness, a handheld extinguisher, a suit and a helmet. Some local events need high level brake lights. Strip it out and secure your battery with yellow tape for the earth and that is it. Cages are not mandatory although I would recomend it. Home made is good enough.

So a bit of work is required.

Also worth adding that the minimum age for Autocross is 16 years and Clubcross is 14 years.....
