CAMS OBSERVED LICENCE TESTS (OLT)

A CAMS Observed Licence Test (OLT) is a test of practical skill, where CAMS approved instructors observe you under modified race conditions. Successful completion of the OLT is a critical component of receiving your racing licence. It gives you the opportunity to show you have a basic understanding and knowledge of manoeuvring a vehicle at high speeds to ensure the safety of both yourself and others, including drivers, officials and spectators.

Driving Solutions is a CAMS accredited OLT provider and offers the opportunity to complete your OLT during a trackday in either the Experienced or Race Car Sessions. If you wish to complete your OLT, please book into the Trackday session of your choice, either Experienced or Race Car, depending on your vehicle, and select OLT as an optional extra when booking.

Vehicles used for the OLT do not have to be race cars but must be free of defects, and must have a passenger seat fitted. Please contact us to discuss your vehicle if you are unsure of its suitability.

First timers: Don’t be shy, you’ll love it.

Those of you that have been to one of these before will agree, this is the best money you can spend as far as driving time for an event. The event will be run after run until 3.30pm, and considering most runs are under 1 minute AND that we’re kicking off at 9am, that’s a lot of runs :thumbsup:

This is a safe event where you only go as hard as you want to, there’s no pressure, one car on a course at a time. Perfect for beginners to have a first try at driving their pride and joy off the streets.

Motorkhana is a low cost way to get involved in motorsport. You can get your first taste of motor sport in your standard road car, but this discipline also caters to the most skilled and experienced of drivers in highly modified or purpose built Motorkhana specials.

The competition is designed to test the acceleration, braking and manoeuvrability of a vehicle and the skill and judgement of the crew members.

A motorkhana may be conducted on a sealed or unsealed surface and involves manoeuvring through tight and twisty tests marked by flags.

Cars will be started individually and there will be one car on course at one time.

With that said, there’s usually some friendly competition between mates, which is great to watch 😀

CHALLENGE YOURSELF!
In a Supersprint, you are not up against all the other cars in a race – you are challenging yourself to be the quickest you can be in the type of vehicle you are driving.
Supersprints show great camaraderie and club spirit. Everyone seems to chat to each other and help out where needed. ARDC have a long and illustrious history of running these events, and Supersprints are undoubtedly the best way to get into motorsport on a reasonable affordable budget.
It starts with the CAMS licence needed only costing around the $120 for 12 months, and only a Medical Statement to attend to, not a full medical that can be very costly. You can even start doing this when you are 15yrs old!
Entry fees to events are around the $250/$270 mark, and apparel is not nearly as expensive as a full race suit, although you can certainly wear one if you want to. We do not even charge for garage and carport fees! THEY ARE FREE for our events!

Round 1 Sat 3rd March Gardner (GP)
Round 4 Sunday 22nd July Druitt (North)
Round 7 Sunday 14th October Gardner (GP)

Entry for spectators is FREE!
