The 2013 LMC Aintree trackdays are on the 25th May & 5th October and will sell out quickly. Don’t miss your chance to drive on part of the historic Circuit, where Stirling Moss secured his first ever Grand Prix win!

Bookings for the 25th May trackday are still open for single seaters only.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

With the Exception of Group D (single seaters) the May Track Day is now FULL

Please do not submit a booking for Group A (Novice), B (Intermediate) or C (Experienced) drivers in saloon/sports cars) as it will not be accepted and will be returned.

We have reserve bookings waiting for Groups A & B too & no further reserves are being taken for these groups.

It is possible that a place may become available for an experienced driver in Group C if a booking is withdrawn, but please contact us first before attempting to book. Please do not ask to be a reserve for Group C unless you really are experienced and will be able to keep pace with the quicker cars in that group as your safety and the safety of other drivers may otherwise be compromised.

We are still accepting bookings for the following group only

HOW TO BOOK

Firstly, ensure you have read the Event Rules and Site Regulations  and the ‘Important Information’ section below about safety. By submitting a booking, you agree to comply with our Event Rules and Site Regulations, and acknowledge the details contained in the ‘Important Information’ section below .

There are 3 ways of booking:-

1. Book and pay on-line. It is secure, you will get priority over all other methods & there’s nothing to post. Read the following notes as you scroll down to the HOW TO BOOK paragraph, where you will find the Trackday Booking button..

2. Book on-line, but send payment by cheque. Slower, but you will still get priority over those who don’t book on-line. We will hold your booking for 5 working days whilst waiting for your cheque. If your cheque doesn’t arrive in that time, your booking may be reallocated if there is someone else waiting in reserve.

3. Book & pay by post. It’s the slowest method as you are relying totally on the postal service.  If you are reading this, you must have internet access, so why not use our on-line service to make sure your booking arrives before your session is full. You should read the following notes as you scroll down to the HOW TO BOOK paragraph.

IMPORTANT – if you are thinking of paying by cheque:-

(this facility may be withdrawn before the closing date)
Please :
1. Attach the correct postage. If you don’t, your letter may be returned unopened.
2. Do not send your cheque by any method that has to be signed for on delivery as your booking is almost certain to be delayed. To avoid problems, why not use our secure on-line booking system, and pay-on line too?
3. Note that we will only hold your provisional booking for 5 working days whilst waiting for your cheque.

To book by post, click here: April 2013 Trackday Booking Form then complete & return the 2013 Postal Booking Form and send it to us with your payment

To Book on-line, click on the BOOK  TRACKDAY button at the bottom of this page. Up to 2 additional drivers to share your car can be booked at the same time on-line. All drivers must be pre-booked, we do not accept any bookings for additional drivers on the day.

You will be able to book for up to three drivers per car on-line so please have their information available when you fill the form. If you need to add extra drivers later you will need to go to our Contact Us page and request a postal booking form for each additional driver which will delay your booking.

Please remember that the email address that you give us on the booking form will be used to send you your acknowledgement so please ensure it is correct.

We regret that neither e-mail nor fax applications can be accepted and we must point out that under no circumstances will bookings be accepted on the day for either main or additional drivers. For further information, please contact Ron Hunt on 07905 677058 (10.00am to 5.30pm only please) or by e-mail via the Trackday Bookings email link on our Contact Us page.
