New to competing?
Classic Marques is open to competitors of all ages and all levels of experience. We literally do cater for competitors from 17 to 80 plus! Some people join us for the close competition and the freedom from “cheque book racing” that occurs elsewhere in our sport, some join us to have more fun in their cherished classic than they could ever do on the road. All enjoy the camaraderie and sense of togetherness that Classic Marques brings.
New competitors tend to fall into two groups.
Young competitors who are in their first season may be eligible for our Young Drivers Academy – click here to read more.
More mature competitors can also enjoy personal help and support in their first season, as well as competing for our coveted Novice Trophy. There are a lot of guides on what to do to prepare your car for Speed events, and we have some good advice in the links page, but we take a more personal approach and are happy to allocate a mentor/mentors to new starters, to help you with everything from car preparation, to doing a track walk with you at an event so you get the real low down – where are the turn in points, where is the apex for this corner, should I use the kerb on the exit? Real world information from people who have been there and done it. We run WhatsApp groups for new competitors and their mentors to help share this kind of critical information.
