Hello everyone. I am writing this post to see if there would be any interest for a track day experience in classic British sport and saloon cars such as Austin A35, Austin A40 and MG Midget around the most famous of British circuits. All of these cars are fully race prepared and have been re-engineered to be a lot faster than what they were in period! All feedback is welcome. Thank you.

I'd be more interested in driving racing cars of the period that hadn't been modified up to eyeballs, also a session using my own '63 Riley One-Point-Five.

These race cars are not modified immensely. Only have had different suspension components of the same family branch i.e these cars were all owned by BMC so still have parts that were made and added in BMC vehicles. For example, our Austin A35 and Austin A40 have been upgraded to disc front brakes from an MG Midget compared to their original drum brakes (for extra safety too.) The engines still have the original A-series spec as in period so the cars are still running classic components just slightly different for both safety but also has the advantage of making them faster.
