About this event
The 2018 Twickenham Auto Club Summer Test and Tune
Test and Tune
- This test and tune will feature a practice autocross course (timed but not recorded), a stand-alone slalom, and skidpad. Course map will be posted on the forum at least a few days ahead of the event. The autocross course will consist of basic features (easy to read at speed) allowing you to focus on tuning your car.
- This event should average 16-25 runs per driver. Some people may get more or less runs depending on how much time they spend fixing their car, at lunch, or on the slalom/skidpad.
- Registration will be limited to 55 entrants. Pre-payment is required via Motorsportreg -- first come, first serve. Cancellations may be made by contacting the registrar.
- Your grid spot will be your paddock spot. We will have limited trailer parking available.
- We will be checking sound -- more details on following page.
- This event is not appropriate for brand new drivers. Must have driven several autocrosses with TAC.
Workers
- All drivers (including early workers) are required to work.
- If we have a full event, you will only be required to work one 80 minute session for the day. Workers will "hot swap", meaning we will not stop the event to switch workers and cars will run continuously. *Subject to change*
- Minimum of 17 people required to put on the event.

Event requirements
Requirements
- Bring a valid drivers license with you to the event.
- Autocrossers under the age of 18 will be required to have a parent or legal guardian sign a minor's competition waiver.
- Helmets are required, but we have loaners available.
- All drivers must fulfill their work assignments. Work assignments will be given at the drivers meeting. We do not allow working only half of the day.
- Bring your membership card if you have one.
Sound Policy
TAC/TVR has a strict sound policy, due to our residential location and agreement with the Milton Frank Stadium owners. Your car must not be louder than 96 dB without exception. Sound will be monitored approximately 50 feet from the course. The type of exhaust (stock vs aftermarket) is not restricted, but it must not exceed 96 dB. If your car exceeds 96 dB on a run, you will be notified, the run will be scored as a DNF, and not allowed to run again. If you show that a modification has been made to reduce noise (driving at half throttle does not count), then you will be allowed to run again. If your car exceeds the limit a second time, you will not be allowed to run for the rest of the day. We want EVERYONE to have a great day autocrossing, please make this easy by fixing your car before the event!
Payment
Online payment is required through Motorsportreg. Your card will be charged. Contact the registrar for cancelations. We ask that you cancel at least 2-3 days prior to the event to allow those on the waitlist to enter.
