In line with the phased guidelines announced earlier this week
by the UK Government, we are now taking the first steps to
re-opening the MotorSport Vision (MSV) business. Accordingly,
circuit activity will resume at all our UK venues (Brands Hatch,
Donington Park, Oulton Park, Snetterton, Cadwell Park and Bedford
Autodrome) on a gradual basis from next Monday onwards (18
May).
Initially this will involve running exclusive and semi-exclusive
testing for professional race teams. This will be followed by car
and bike trackdays (both MSVT and those run by third-party
operators, e.g. Javelin, No Limits etc) and general test days. We
intend operating these from Tuesday 26
May onwards*, with measures in place to maintain
social distancing in accordance with government
guidelines. Details of the new procedures in place, which
include online registration and briefing, can be viewed here. This document will be emailed to
relevant customers in advance of their event.
Our track hire, MSV Trackdays (MSVT) and testing departments will
re-open, with reduced numbers working remotely from home, on Monday
18 May. We anticipate a large number of enquiries so please only
contact us if you have an urgent query. All bookings can be made
online via our MSVT and Testing websites.
Credits for test days and MSVT track days due to take place before
26 May will be issued automatically and you will be notified by
email once this has been completed. We have a considerable backlog
to process so there may be a delay of up to two weeks.
Everyone who is booked to attend a third-party trackday up to and
including Monday 25 May should visit the organiser's website for
further information.
PLEASE NOTE: Spectators, friends and family members will not be
able to attend a track or test day until further notice. And
overnight stays are not permitted at any venue under current
guidelines.
*MSVT's first operational date will be Monday 1
June.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING RACE EVENTS AND DRIVING
EXPERIENCES
Please note that everyone else in the MSV business is furloughed
and communication channels remain closed. We aim to reopen as soon
as possible but in the meantime please see below details of
arrangements for race events and driving experiences. Our offices
are shut until further notice so please do not telephone or email.
If you have a query that is not covered by the below list, please
wait until our offices reopen to get in touch.
Event tickets/season passes
All motor racing until at least 30 June has been suspended and
those affected events have been postponed. All tickets will be
valid for the rescheduled event. If you let us know that you can't
make the rescheduled date once it's been announced, or if a race
meeting is not rescheduled at all, you will be entitled to a credit
or a refund. We will review the effect on season pass holders
throughout the year and ensure that any significant loss of
entitlement is managed fairly.
Driving experiences
All MSV driving experiences (F4 Master, Rally Master, YoungDrive!
etc.) will be postponed until at least 30 June. Everyone who is
booked to attend an MSV driving experience (F4 Master, Rally
Master, YoungDrive! etc.) up to and including this date will be
able to book a replacement date in due course. Any vouchers that
are due to expire will automatically remain valid until three
months after driving experiences resume.
Customers of the PalmerSport event will be contacted separately
regarding arrangements at Bedford Autodrome.
Thank you for your support and understanding during these
difficult times.
