Scottish Autotest Championship 2019
It has been a few years since there has been a Scottish Autotest Championship held, we plan to resurrect it in 2019. There will be 9 events during the season - 1 per month running from March - October, these will be split geographically throughout Scotland, to avoid competitors travelling hundreds of miles to participate.
The competitors best 5 events will count towards the overall championship, full details of the point scoring system is available in the
Championship Regulations (see the Downloads section below). A registered competitor who is an organiser of an event, and so cannot compete on it, can claim Championship points for 1 event as an Official / Marshal.
Registration for the championship is FREE and because the Championship is now Clubman status no competition licence is required - only a valid Club Membership card from any club which is a member of the Scottish Association of Motor Sports Clubs. The registration forms are included in the Championship Regs.
To introduce some consistency to the events it is planned to use colour coded poles/ cones as per the BTRDA events to let the competitors know which manoeuvre is required at that point to avoid confusion.
I feel the time is right to get this grassroots motorsport up and running as a national championship again, so please spread the word and encourage as many people who have never taken part in Autotests to come along.
There are a wide range of classes including a class for Hybrid / Electric Cars.

SCOTTISH ROAD CAR SERIES 2019
We are delighted to announce the launch of the Scottish Road Car Series for 2019, but with a few changes from the very successful first year in 2018.
This is intended to act as an accessible new entry point into motorsport in Scotland, and anyone with a valid driving licence can enter the nine rounds at various locations in Scotland, making it accessible to a broad range of people across the country.
The events will be permitted and insured by the UK governing body Motorsport UK, and will be run by experienced Motorsport UK affiliated clubs, listed in the calendar below.
New for this year is the addition of the Street Car Showdown. This class allows competitors to trailer cars to events which is prohibited by Autosolo regulations, so events will run as PCAs (Production Car Autotests). Normally a passenger must be carried in a PCA, but Motorsport UK have agreed, as an experiment, to allow our competitors to run in a PCA with or without a passenger.
This year the Road Car Series will run as a Regional Association Championship, but drivers still do not require a competition licence for these events.
ROUND EVENT DATE VENUE CLUB
1 2nd March Ardeer Scottish Sporting Car Club
2 30th March Grampian Transport Museum Stonehaven DMC
3 18th May Knockhill Glenrothes Motor Sports Club
4 26th May TBC 63 Car Club

6 17-Aug Leuchars Glenrothes Motor Sports Club
7 22-Sep Ardeer Scottish Sporting Car Club
8 6-Oct Errol Airfield Saltire Rally Club
9 1 Dec Kames East Ayrshire Car Club
The events will be run in line with the MSA’s AutoSolo regulations for the Road Car Series, and Production Car Autotest regulations for the Street Car Challenge.
Competitions will be held at a mixture of tracks and open tarmac spaces, where courses of different configurations will be laid out using markers. Participants will be competing against the clock in these events with the aim of the game being to drive the course in the correct configuration, without hitting any markers. Time penalties will be applied for the length of time completing the course takes plus every time participants hit a marker or take an incorrect turn. The winning competitor is the one who completes the course with the least penalties!
The competition will put emphasis on driver skill.
Certain courses will of course suit some cars better than others but it will not necessarily be an advantage to have a high performance car, so you should be as competitive in a Ford Fiesta as in a Ferrari 458!
Registration for the series – which will include club membership – will be £15 and entry fees to each event will be £20.
Whilst there are 9 rounds in total, series points will only be awarded for participants best 5 event results. This means that whilst participants are welcome to compete in as many events as they like, they have the flexibility to miss some of the rounds and still be competitive in the series.
In short, the Scottish Road Car Series is all about making motorsport accessible, enjoyable and affordable; there will be no need to decipher complex regulations, spend a fortune on a specialist car or pass a test to compete. Instead, you will be able to enter events with a few clicks of a button from your sofa and turn up in your weekly run around to enjoy some friendly but competitive fun, for less than the cost of an average round of golf!
