What is an AutoSOLO?

A great entry into motorsport, an AutoSOLO is a test of your precision and car control, with slalom sections and longer turns. Courses are on a sealed surface (closed car parks, for example), marked out by plastic cones or pylons, often numbered to help with navigation.

The aim is to complete the course in the correct direction, as quickly and accurately as possible. If you hit a marker, you incur a time penalty, and driving in the wrong direction results in a ‘fail’.

Completed mostly in first and second gear, the risk to your road car is negligible.

You can have multiple competitors taking it in turns with the same car. Some organisers also allow passengers in the vehicles.

Checklist

For an AutoSOLO, no special equipment or training is needed. Any everyday road car that is taxed, insured and has a valid MOT is eligible for these competitions – two-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, a small hatchback, or even an estate car. It doesn’t matter what you drive, it matters how precisely you drive it!

These competitions, or tests as they are known, are ‘All Forwards’ and take placed on sealed surfaces.

You do not need a driving licence, provided someone else is driving the car to and from the event and you are at least 14 years of age.

For those with a driving licence, carrying a passenger is optional.

When looking for an event to participate in, make sure to review the event Supplementary Regulations to ensure you have everything in place to compete.

You will need:

Club membership
Any car with a valid MOT, taxed and insured for road use
Your entry fee
An RS Clubman licence from Motorsport UK
Optional: A pump or compressor, along with an accurate tyre gauge

What is an AutoTest?

The eponymous competition in this category, an Autotest is a low-speed, challenging test of precision car control against the clock. Taking place on tarmac or grass areas, often car parks or flat fields, courses are marked out by plastic cones or pylons, and are generally completed in first and reverse gears. Often, an Autotest will include skills like handbrake or J-turns.

Participants tackle a number of timed tests, which they must memorise beforehand, and have a number of attempts at each. Five second penalties are incurred for hitting cones, or for failing to stop at a line. A more severe penalty is given for taking the wrong route. The winner is the driver with the lowest accumulated time.

You can take part in an Autotest in an everyday road car, and cars can be shared, or ‘double driven’. Your closest competitor would then be the person in the same car as you.

Production Car Autotest

A Production Car Autotest (PCA) is similar to an Autotest, a low-speed, challenging test of precision car control against the clock. The main difference between the two is that a PCA requires a passenger, allowing drivers aged 14 and above to compete.

A PCA takes place on tarmac or grass areas, often car parks or flat fields, with courses marked out by plastic cones or pylons. Generally completed in first and reverse gears, a PCA often includes skills like handbrake or J-turns.

Participants tackle a number of timed tests, which they must memorise beforehand, and have a number of attempts at each. The passenger comes in handy, supporting the driver with navigation of the course.

Five second penalties are incurred for hitting cones, or for failing to stop at a line. A more severe penalty is given for taking the wrong route. The winner is the driver with the lowest accumulated time.
