Hoping to take my Class B next month but the ARDS website is unclear as to who's car you use during the test.

I'm racing in the Mighty Mini racing series this year and would happily take my mini along for the test but obviously it's not designed to take passengers.

Anyone taken the test recently?

Normally a car supplied by the place organising the test, never hear of you doing it in your own car.. where are you doing it ?

Nope. Well not at Silverstone, but I don't think anywhere makes you use our own car. What if you're racing single seaters?

Hi, if you haven't booked your ARDS test yet, we have some days next week at Teesside Autodrome, and we provide a doctor on site to carry out medicals at a very reasonable coat. The cars we use are Mini Coopers, BMW not Rover,PM me if you require any further info.

Thanks for the offer Howard but you're a little too far away, I'm based in South Cheshire.
