Looking for “Cheap Motorsport?”, do I have a deal for you.
The MG car club here in Canberra runs regular Motor-Khana events at the Sutton Rd Driver Training complex. Basically a patch of flat tar the size of a footy field. With an entry fee of $25 (excludes CAMS licence - $46 for 12 months) it don’t get much cheaper. Of course you will need a car that passes basic safety checks (wheels, covered and secured battery, nothing loose in the cabin), but otherwise that’s it. Cars can be multi-entered, so sharing a ride is easy. You can even take a passenger if you get lonely (or lost)
How does it work?
You get two runs at each “Test”. The object is to pilot yourself around the flags from the Start garage back to the Finish garage. Easy huh? Take a look at Test1.

This was one of the easier ones! You loose points (gain penalty time) for each flag you hit, if you miss a turn you get the big WD (wrong direction) and the run is over. Fortunately you get to keep the best time (of the two runs) at each test, but if you WD both of them, you get assigned the slowest time of anyone plus five seconds!
But forget all that, just go out and have some tyre smoking, handbrake turning fun!!
