Rolling V8 Calendar


Track days with MGs on Track (MGoT). It's a specialist branch of the MG Car Club which aims to organise fun, sociable track days where MG enthusiasts can enjoy their cars in safety with fellow enthusiasts and at the best possible price. Our events are non-competitive, there is no need to modify your car and there is no expensive equipment required. All you will need is a helmet and that can be hired from MGoT. Their events are run for enthusiasts, by enthusiasts, and entirely on a voluntary basis.
