Grasstrack Racing.
Our old Mini

Our old Mini.

We started by racing a Mini (N13) in 2002. The remains of it are now on the workshop wall! Hopefully, we shall soon be racing a new N13, which clients can drive from the age of 14.  

 
Clients work on the Nova.

Our Nova - N113.

Clients work together to prepare the Vauxhall Nova for racing.

Grasstrack racing is a valuable part of the workshop curriculum.

 
Muddy race meeting.
Grasstrack racing can be a dirty business in November!

 
More mud!
The Nova can be driven by staff, volunteers and clients over the age of sixteen.

Our participation in grasstrack racing is not just about driving fast. Before they can drive in a race, clients have to prove they can handle a car safely and responsibly by taking part in a six-week off road driving course at Safestart, Newark. Driving the race car is a reward for good work and behaviour in the workshop and classroom.
