YOUNG drivers are revving up for the return of a motorsport event in Lichfield.

Cannock and District Car Club will be back at Curborough Sprint Course on 20th September.

The Autosolo event will allow anyone with a standard road car aged 13 or above to take part and test themselves on the track.

A spokesperson said:

"We suggest a small shopping-type car, perhaps a Toyota Yaris, Renault Clio or similar as a suitable car for young drivers.

"Young drivers are expected to be able to pull away, tackle a couple of simple obstacles and stop the car safely to be considered to take part, and will be given a very short 'driving test' to confirm they can do this.

"All drivers 17 or under or drivers without a full driving licence will also need a passenger who holds a valid RTA licence and has some experience in the discipline, but the club can provide that. Anyone who holds a free Motorsport UK competition licence can take part.

"The courses are simple but challenging and are set out to be non-damaging to your car."

The organisers are also looking for volunteer marshals to join the event too.

For entries and details about helping out at the event, visit the Cannock and District Car Club website.
