About this event
Join us on Monday April 27, 2020 for VCMC Track Day #1 at Mission Raceway Park; a 9-turn, 2 km long road racing circuit.
VCMC continues to offer great value to track day participants by providing tons of seat time, instruction for novices and professional track marshals to keep the event safe, fun, and efficient.
Our track events are open to drivers of various experience levels. Drivers are grouped by experience to ensure that all the drivers and vehicles in each session are evenly matched. First timers and new novices attend an orientation session at the start of the day and are accompanied by senior drivers on sighting laps until they are ready to drive solo. We cap our lapping day entries so that group sizes remain manageable and everyone gets plenty of track time.

The track day event will be limited to a maximum of 40 paid participants plus instructors.
Feel free to ask any questions you may have and discuss our track day program on our club forum or our Facebook group.

Novices
In addition to the requirements in the regulations, all solo drivers must have some previous performance driving experience (e.g. autocross, time trials, lapping, performance driving school, etc.). Instruction will be available for first-timers and novices not yet signed off to drive solo. Novices must attend the classroom session which will be held at the Raceway on the morning of the event. The classroom session covers the rules of a track day event, safety concerns, passing rules and mental preparation for track driving. Novices are not allowed to carry passengers except for an instructor. A novice is defined as a driver who has participated in 3 or fewer track days.
