The RSSOC Academy

The RSSOC Committee has again agreed to sponsor the RSSOC Driver Academy Programme. The Academy is the club’s way to support and encourage new drivers into competing in a Scimitar in the SSSC championship.

Anyone interested in applying should contact the Competition Secretary via email. To be considered, any prospective driver should send me a brief outline stating why they would like to be considered, their background, Scimitar history and any notable achievements.
The Committee will consider all applicants and recommend one lucky person for an award of £500 towards safety equipment, helmet, gloves, race suit etc with remaining money being spent on entry fees.

You are not permitted to spend the money on car performance improvements. The winner will also get free entry to the Scimfest sprints in August worth around £200.

Another bonus should the winner wish, is to have an existing competitor as a ‘mentor’. The mentor can help with all those questions a new competitor might have with regards to licences, entry forms, regulation compliance, scrutineering and general preparation of one’s sprint car.

In return:  The chosen competitor must agree to take part in a minimum of 8 events and write an article for each Slice during their academy year (6 editions) detailing their exploits, highs and lows and general experiences as a new competitor.
