Anyone can enter, you only need Manx Autosport club membership (£20 for the year)
Entry fee is £10 per event.

As Tree said the EVO is a full saloon car. It has been done, Steve Colley used his for a couple of rounds one year.
Could be a bit sore on the car, to chuck it around the autotest courses.

New members and first timers always welcome.

Big thanks to all that made it out today for the first round of this years championship.

Great start to the championship, lets build from this.

Shame about Tree breaking a drive shaft on Jason's car, they could not do the second half of the tests.
