The Club MSV Trackday Trophy and Team Trophy are set to entertain once again this weekend (13/14 August) as they embark on their second and fourth round of the season respectively at Donington Park.  

The cost effective series designed for first time racers will produce strong grids, including an impressive 29 car entry for the Team Trophy at the Leicestershire circuit. The Team Trophy will witness a special challenge this weekend as motoring journalists Ben Anderson (Autosport), Rob Ladbrook (Motorsport News) and Ben Barry (Car Magazine) plan to swap their notepads for race overalls.

Club MSV Manager Alex Baker said: "We're obviously ecstatic about the amount of interest we've had in the Trackday Trophy this year and it's great to see some of this interest spilling over into the Team Trophy which has a strong grid of 29 cars this weekend. It's going to be an exciting weekend for both series."

The Trackday Trophy's last outing at the MSVR Indy Weekend produced a thrilling 45 minute race which was only decided by a dramatic final lap. Phill Capstick and Jack Goff, in their Lotus Elise, mastered the tricky wet conditions early on and established a healthy lead, but an impressive showing from James Britton denied them victory. Briton, behind the wheel of a BMW, managed to catch the pair in the second half of the race and grabbed the lead on the final lap at Druids before taking the chequered flag.
