As the in-house track day division for MotorSport Vision, MSVT is regularly asked by their track day drivers how to go racing. Conventionally there have been several hurdles into the sport, so in 2010 MSVT decided to start a series that makes it as easy as possible with a primary goal of helping new drivers to go racing. The MSVT Trackday Trophy is all about having fun with other like-minded novice racers!

Cars must be fully compliant with Motorsport UK regulations (roll cage, fire extinguisher and cut off switches) but the regulations for the series are reasonably relaxed, so that drivers who have already developed cars for track days without having to follow any rules will still be eligible.

Races are designed for teams of two drivers so that the costs of running the car can be shared, together with the excitement! Classes are determined on a power-to-weight ratio with 45-minute races (which include a pit stop for driver changes) preceded by a 25-minute qualifying session. Both of which will take place on one day to reduce overnight costs.
