Novice Speed Scholarship

[kevham]

Speed events (speed hill climbs and sprints) are some of the most exciting events you can take part and you can use just about any type of car from a standard road car to a F1 type single seater!

In order to introduce more people to speed events Wigton Motor Club is again running its popular Novice Scholarship which has brought many new competitors into the sport in recent years. The scholarship is worth around £450 to each driver.


The Novice Scholarship is open to up to 6 people who have not previously held an MSA Competition Licence.

Applications for the scholarship must be submitted by March 10th

A sub committee will select the six winners. Applicants may be asked to meet informally with the sub committee.

The 6 Scholarship winners will receive part payment towards an MSA approved race suit to a maximum of £100, a free test day and tuition, mentoring during the year, free entry fees to the two WMC sprints in the Brockbanks’ Solicitors Northern Speed Championship.

The drivers will have to provide their own MSA approved helmet, MSA competition licence and WMC membership and provide a £100 deposit to the Club. This will be returned at the end of the year if both events have been completed.

The most promising novice will receive an award at the 2011 Annual Awards Dinner.
