motoring in the midlands since 1959
It is with great regret that we have had to make the decision to cancel the Brightsparks AutoSolo.
We did not have sufficient entries to allow the event to go ahead. Entry fees will of course be refunded to you as soon as possible.
Thank you for your support in putting in your entry and we hope to see you at our next event, the Slithering Santa AutoSolo on 27th December.
We hope you enjoyed your day. Thanks to all the volunteers and to the competitors for choosing to take part.

Thanks everyone who took part in the Crimson Dynamo AutoSolo today and extra special thanks to the volunteers who turned up to do timing and supplement the marshalling. This was our first attempt at running an autosolo in this format with drivers taking turns marshalling.

The final instructions for the Crimson Dynamo AutoSolo to be held at Seighford Airfield on 1st February can be found below.
Many thanks to all competitors who took part today on a cold, cloudy but dry day. It was great to have a full entry of 32 drivers. The results can be found below.
Many thanks must go to the marshals, without whose volunteering there wouldn’t be an event. By our account there were 18 volunteers helping today. Fourteen of whom were out on the Tests. The marshals were really appreciative of the beers donated by two of the competitors. Cheers.
We will be running a new autoSolo on 1st February 2020at Seighford Airfield near Stafford. About 10 minutes from J14 of the M6.
We used the site many years ago and we thank Driveme.net for allowing us to use the site again. This will be a trial but if all goes well we’ll be looking at running further events later in 2020. At the moment we have to run the event on a Saturday due to local circumstances.
We are reviving the name “Crimson Dynamo”. The Crimson Dynamo” was, for many years, one of the premier autotests on the British Championship Calendar.
We plan to run the event in a similar way to the Donington Winter Series events. Drivers will have three attempts at a test in the morning then three attempts at the same test in the reverse direction in the afternoon. All drivers will also have to marshal. A rota of drives, marshalling and resting/preparation will be issued with the final instructions.
The cost will be £30 for Owen MC members and £35 for non members. It is unfortunate that we have had to put our entry fees up for 2020 but the governing body, Motorsport UK, have raised their fees considerably.
All competitors, whether a driver or a passenger will also need a Motorsport UK competition licence. The minimum licence requirement for this event is the new RS Clubman licence, This can be obtained for free from the Motorsport UK website. HERE
