The Club MSV Trackday Trophy series is a new initiative for 2010, aimed primarily at trackday drivers who would like to start racing.

As the in-house trackday division for MotorSport Vision, we are regularly asked by our trackday drivers how to get into racing. Conventionally there have been several hurdles, so we decided to start a series that makes it as easy as possible to go racing.

The races are designed for teams of two drivers, so that the costs of running the car can be shared - together with the excitement! The regulations for the cars are reasonably relaxed, with four power to weight classes, so that drivers who have already developed cars for trackdays without having to follow any rules will be eligible. The emphasis will be on having fun in a safe and controlled environment with like minded novice racers.

Each race will consist of a 30 minute practice/qualifying session, followed by a 45 minute race. Driver changes are regulated with a minimum time and refuelling during the race is prohibited.

Initially, four rounds are planned for 2010, although we may add more events if there is enough demand. Practice/qualifying and the race will all take place on one day to reduce overnight costs.

We look forward to seeing you on the grid!

I'm still buzzing from the Brands race and can't wait for Snet. Everything about the day (except maybe the weather) was perfect for novice racers and I really appreciated the support of MSV. Ben Littlewood - Clio 182

The series gave loads of help, the people are really friendly, the atmosphere in the paddock is fabulous and the racing itself is such a massive buzz that I'm still grinning three days later. Jim Cameron - BMW M3

Thanks so much for all your effort this weekend and leading up to it. We had a great time and will be out on round 2 without doubt! (probably can't wait that long actually!). Clive Bailey - BMW M3

I said it on the day, but I think you did a grand job and happy to recommend the series to anyone wanting to get involved. The racing was safe, friendly and fair. Neal Blakes - VW Golf

A massive thanks from Team Javelin for the weekend, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the banter and racing at Brands Hatch. Chris Slator - Peugeot 306 Rallye

Just to say a huge thank you to you and all the track day trophy team for yesterday at brands. You all helped to settle first day nerves and the organisation was great. Graham Allen - Jaguar XJS
