Stunt Day – South Cerney

To celebrate our 50th Anniversary, we have brought back the opportunity for our Members and their Associates to experience and learn Stunt Driving!!! This is delivered by our friends at Stunt Driving UK who hold no less than 8 Guinness World Records for stunt driving. See https://www.stuntdriveuk.com/ We will be doing this at South Cerney on Sunday 20th September. This event will be exclusively for the Stunt Driving programme with no normal Car Club driving. The event is open to good Grade 3s up to adults, but with a minimum height of 1.35m. It will cover: Parallel Park J-Turns Driving on Two Wheels Stunt Routine (which links together the handbrake turn and the parallel park to make a little routine that links multiple stunts together). This unique event costs just £80 per person (which is a £45 saving and not normally available to under 17s) and we have up to 40 places available.
