Report of the Summer Solo

Results from the Abingdon CAR-nival

An AutoSolo has a series of timed, all-forwards courses, on hard surfaces. The routes are made as clear as possible, so you can concentrate on achieving your best time, rather than on remembering the way. Compared to traditional autotesting, the tests don't involve specialised techniques such as spin turns, are significantly longer, and can involve a little more speed through the corners.

Cars must be taxed, insured, have an MOT certificate if their age requires, and be driven to the event. Safety and organisational requirements are similar to autotests, which keeps costs and entry fees low.

Helmets and overalls aren't needed, and for AutoSolo's which run under Clubsport permits you won't need a competition licence, just your membership card of the organising club, or one of the invited clubs. In fact, it couldn't be easier to enter these events......

As well as awards in each class, there's an overall Fastest Time of Day award, for the lowest total time. FDMC also now gives an award for best performance on Index, intended as an award for which every class winner has a chance. This applies correction factors between the classes, based on the results of our previous events.

For 2010, to add further interest for drivers, our events are also starting to include some optional variations in the route, on the last course. Which way is the fastest ? - You have to decide !
