TRACK AND TEST DAYS
Whether you are preparing for your first race, going about a winter testing programme or just wanting to enjoy a day out, we can take care of the days running.
We can offer arrive and drive and owner driver support during testing and trackday's with mechanical support and set-up changes. We also offer driver coaching in-car and trackside with data analysis. Testing is definitely the best way to fine tune you and your car before the busy season begins!

RACE WEEKENDS
So, time to go racing! Your winter testing is done and it's time to get down to business. On race weekends a lot can happen at once and often does. We have experienced many race weekends with fast turnarounds and large jobs to do in minimal time, sometimes working through the night to ensure the car is ready the next day. We excel in these situations.
We offer arrive and drive and owner driver support on race weekends including mechanical support, setup changes, in-car coaching during testing, data analysis and more. We cover everything so all you have to worry about is nailing every lap on track!
RACE CAR PREPARATION
All of the hard work is done before the car even drives out of the workshop. We can look after your car in between rounds and through the winter period, making sure that it is prepared to the highest standard every time it turns a wheel on track. Just some of the work we carry out at our workshop includes 4-wheel alignment/suspension setup, engine builds, full car builds, general preparation/spanner checking, servicing and maintaining, body repairs/resprays, livery application, fault diagnosis and more. We take great pride in our attention to detail in every job that we carry out resulting in each and every car that we work on getting the attention it deserves.
ENGINE AND FULL CAR BUILDS
Over the past few seasons we have tested many different things on our MK1 engines, some worked and some didn't. What that does mean is that we now have the recipe to make a MK1 1.6 B6 engine hit full legal power! We work very closely with our local machine shop to ensure that all components are to the highest standard and we also dyno and tune our engines with the team at Hangar 111 to get them running silky smooth. We can carry out a refresh on your already race spec engine or we can take a good fully standard engine and turn it into a race winning monster engine!
We can also build MK1 MX-5 race cars from the ground up. Firstly we would source a suitable, structurally sound donor car and fully strip it to the bare shell, we would then source all of the championship controlled parts for you and rebuild the shell with refurbished suspension/subframes and bodywork. We would also fit it with a fresh engine, gearbox and differential and fit all of the safety equipment. By the time it leaves the workshop it would be a fully fledged MX-5 Championship race car!
DRIVER COACHING/DATA ANALYSIS
As part of all of our test/track day and race weekend packages we offer driver coaching from fully qualified ARDS (Association of racing driver schools) coaches. Coaching is the most effective way of gaining large chunks of lap time, especially if you are new to track driving.
All of our coaches have themselves raced for many years and know what it takes to be fast. Each driver will develop a personal relationship with their coach which allows the coach to work out where the extra tenths can be unlocked. Part of coaching is data analysis, this is where you will go through your onboard videos and VBOX data to see exactly where you need to improve.
